Lyrics of Only by Nine Inch Nails
verse
I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away, well, you might say I'm losing focus
Kinda drifting into the abstract
In terms of how I see myself
bridge
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes I think I can see right through myself
(Some) sometimes I can see right through myself
verse
Less concerned about fitting into the world
Your world that is
'Cause it doesn't really matter anymore (no, it doesn't really matter anymore)
No, it doesn't really matter any more
None of this really matters any more
verse
Yes, I am alone, but then again I always was
As far back as I can tell
I think maybe it's because
Because you were never really real
To begin with
bridge
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself
Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself
verse
And it worked
Yes it did
pre-chorus
There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
chorus
Only
Only
Only
Only
verse
Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye
And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling
Like I just knew it's something bad
verse
I just couldn't leave it alone
Pickin' at that scab
It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut
But I climbed through
bridge
Now I am somewhere I am not supposed to be
And I can see things I never really should've seen
And now I know why, and now I know why
Things aren't as pretty on the inside
pre-chorus
There is no you
There is only me
There is no you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
There is no fucking you
There is only me
chorus
Only
Only
Only
Only
Only
Only
Only
Only
Writer(s): Trent Reznor
