Only You Lyrics
[Intro]
Only you, you, you
Only you, you, you
[Verse 1]
I remember in the schoolyard
The children didn't understand
So they bullied me with silence
Just for being who I am
So I got good at keeping secrets
I used to blend in with the crowds
On the inside I was screaming
With you I didn't have to hide
[Chorus]
Only you could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true
[Verse 2]
I used to stare up at the ceiling
Wide awake all through the night
While the world was busy sleeping
I was so caught up in my mind
Only you, you, you
Only you, you, you
[Verse 1]
I remember in the schoolyard
The children didn't understand
So they bullied me with silence
Just for being who I am
So I got good at keeping secrets
I used to blend in with the crowds
On the inside I was screaming
With you I didn't have to hide
[Chorus]
Only you could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true
[Verse 2]
I used to stare up at the ceiling
Wide awake all through the night
While the world was busy sleeping
I was so caught up in my mind
[Chorus]
Only you, could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true, so true
[Bridge]
Oh, when I'm all alone
A million miles away from home
You're still with me, you'll always be
My rock and shoulder to lean on
When every hope I have is gone
I'll turn to you, you know it's true
[Chorus]
Only you could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true, so true
[Outro]
And I know, 'til the bitter end
I'll be proud to call you my best friend
It's true, so true
Only you, could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true, so true
[Bridge]
Oh, when I'm all alone
A million miles away from home
You're still with me, you'll always be
My rock and shoulder to lean on
When every hope I have is gone
I'll turn to you, you know it's true
[Chorus]
Only you could see that I was hurting
Only you ever cared to understand
Always know that I'd do the same
I'd do anything for you my friend
It's true, so true
[Outro]
And I know, 'til the bitter end
I'll be proud to call you my best friend
It's true, so true

Genius Answer
“Only You” is a tribute to friendship and companionship, the strength and the power that friendship and loyalty hold. He’s helped me all the way through until now with my sexuality. I just needed to pay homage to him, as well as paying homage to all friends out there and those who’ve stood by their friends."
