Lyrics

Only One

[Intro]

Only one, only one

Only one, only one

Only one, only one

Only one, only one

[Verse 1]

I guess I'll be the first to say it

I haven't felt this good in a while

You tell me I'm the only one that they would all like

But you're the only one that kept me alive

[Chorus]

Oh-ooh, you are the only one

You are the only one that kept me alive

You were the only one, the only one that was on my side

You were the only one that kept me alive

[Drop]

[Verse 2]

Even after all this time, fear can grip me at night

But somehow, somewhere, you make me believe

I could see it in your eyes

So take me as your breathing proof

For everything you've ever done for me

I won't lie and fear no more

I hope you realize you kept me alive

[Chorus]

ILLENIUM

Oh-ooh, you are the only one

You are the only one that kept me alive

You were the only one, the only one that was on my side

You were the only one that kept me alive

[Bridge]

You saw my insides from the outside

You saw a chance, gave me truth so I survived

Saw my insides from the outside

You saw my insides from the outside

You took a chance, gave me proof without a goodbye

Now here I am, just happy to be alive

[Chorus]

Oh-ooh, you are the only one

You are the only one that kept me alive

You were the only one, the only one that was on my side

You were the only one that kept me alive

[Outro]

You are the only one

You are the only one

You are the only one

Only one, only one

Only one, only one

Only one, only one

Only one, only one
