Lewis Capaldi - One Lyrics

Lewis Capaldi Lyrics

"One"

Long hours and a few dyin' flowers
But you never seem to stick around
How could you let something so good
Go to waste and bleed the colours out

You don't know what you got till it's gone
Know when it's right till it's wrong
In search of perfect
When you had it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm pickin' up every piece
You must be so hard to please

I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm saying thank you to the one
Who let her get away, away

She gave you love, but it wasn't enough
You had your mind set out on other things
Can't sleep at night, now you're paying the price
You let another come and take your place

You don't know what you got till it's gone
Know when it's right till it's wrong
In search of perfect
When you had it with you all along
You broke her heart down with ease
Now I'm pickin' up every piece
You must be so hard to please

I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm saying thank you to the one
Who let her get away, away

Thank you to the one who caused her heart to break
I‘m thanking you for giving me a soul to save
Thank you to the one who let her get away

You know I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's

Oh I wish I could say
Thank you for all the mistakes
Thank you for all of the pain
I guess somebody else's loss is another's gain
I'm saying thank you to the one
Who let her get away, away

Talking about the songs on his album, Lewis Capaldi explained about this track, "'One' is a song I wrote with a couple of friends after one of them showed me this poem that a guy had written to his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend thanking him for all the horrible things he did to her because it led him to be able to find her and for them to get together. 'Thank you for fucking things up.' That's what I'm saying."

Lewis Capaldi told in an interview to OfficialCharts.com, "There's a ballad on there called 'One' that I'm quite excited about. That's actually a love song as opposed to all these depressing, heartbreak songs I've been doing for a long time."
