"You're The One" lyrics

"You're The One"

May twelve angels guard you while you sleep
Maybe that's a waste of angels, I don't know
I'd do anything to keep you safe
From the danger that surrounds us

Little by little, bit by bit, little bit by little bit
Now you got it, that's it
What are you thinking, things will go sour?
Take its temperature every hour
Nervous when you own it, nervous when it's gone
What do you think has been going on for so long?

You are the air inside my chest

You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one

But when I hear it from the other side
It's a completely different song
I'm the one who made you cry
And I'm the one who's wrong
In my dream you spoke to me and you said, you said

You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
You're the one

Nature gives us shapeless shapes
Clouds and waves and flame
But human expectation
Is that love remains the same
And when it doesn't, we point our fingers
And blame, blame, blame

You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
I'm the one, I broke your heart
I made you cry
You're the one, you broke my heart
You made me cry
We're the one
