One Day Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ivan B]
Yeah
I do this for me; you don’t like it? That's fine
Go listen to somebody else
Playing these notes for me, that's a note to myself
When you're breaking down is when you're finding yourself
I know I've been distant with you
Every family picture makes it look like we're close, but we aren't
I know it seems like I don't care, but I take it to heart
Grew up together, we drifted apart
A lot of it's all on me
Hang up the phone – opportunity calling me
Why can't I give an apology?
Rich with love, but around me it feels like a Dollar Tree
When was the last time I told you I loved you?
When was the last time I said this would change?
When was the last time I sat with you more than a minute with something to say?
What if you're gone tomorrow?
Would the pride in my heart start to fade?
Seems like we know what to say when somebody is laid in a grave
Can't find the words when they look at our face
I should be who you can count on, how can I?
I can't even count on myself
Isolated with the walls that I built
I locked the door and I hold it still
[Chorus: Princess EK]
I'm scared I'm not the things that you need from me
I just don't know how to let you know
It's hard for me to tell you what you mean to me, and I'm scared that you'll never know
But maybe one day I could tell you what you mean to me
And maybe one day I could show you you mean the most to me

[Verse 2: Ivan B]
Have a lot to give, scared to give it
You were sick and I just didn't visit
I get if you don't wanna listen
Just know that I made the wrong decision
"Love" is a beautiful word
Our actions make it hollow
Easy to say, but it's harder to swallow
'Cause you on the hospital bed, and I'm like, “Yeah, I'll call in tomorrow”
Sorry I couldn't be there for you (yeah)
Haven't seen you, I don't know what I'll say to you
People think I got the answers, like, what do I say to you?
What do I say when I walk in the room, like, "How you been?"
Why set the bar if I lose the grip?
All this hurt, I can't let it in
I had this girl, and I let it slip
Like I wrote you a song and now it just haunts me
I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you
You couldn't let go of your past, ironic – I keep looking back at you
If I still think about it, you still mean a lot to me
This was the best, but honestly, it never brought the best out of me
Three in the morning, we calling each other like…
[Chorus: Princess EK]
I'm scared I'm not the things that you need from me
I just don't know how to let you know
It's hard for me to tell you what you mean to me, and I'm scared that you'll never know
But maybe one day I could tell you what you mean to me
And maybe one day I could show you you mean the most to me
I'm scared I'm not the things that you need from me
I just don't know how to let you know
It's hard for me to tell you what you mean to me, and I'm scared that you'll never know
But maybe one day I could tell you what you mean to me
And maybe one day I could show you you mean the most to me

[Outro: Princess EK]
I'm scared I'm not the things that you need from me
I just don't know how to let you know
It's hard for me to tell you what you mean to me, and I'm scared that you'll never know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Where can I find the beat?
Genius Answer

You can find the beat here, however it does include its own chorus, sung by Alex Marie Brinkley.

Why does this say Ivan B when it's clearly MGK and Halsey's song "Be My Baby?"
Genius Answer

It’s actually not MGK or Halsey’s song, it’s Ivan B’s. This upload that claims to be MGK and Halsey is clickbait. It’s actually Ivan B’s song!
