One By One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember all my flaws and my mistakes
Some of them I know are yours to make
Remember me for who I was, who you want me to be
Guess I'm afraid you might forget me easily

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm fearful of the day when I wil have to say goodbye
'Cause I'm the one supposed to dry those teardrops from your eyes
Everyday with you has been the best day of my life
I'm sorry if I'm being sentimental tonight

[Chorus]
But one by one by one we fade away
Memories, one by one by one, they fade to grey
We're here for every season till we're gone without a reason
One by one by one we fade away

[Verse 2]
The more I live the less I really know
I'll never be prepared to let you go
One day you'll close the door, I'll see that empty room of yours
I'm just afraid you won't come back here anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm fearful of the day when I wil have to say goodbye
'Cause I'm the one supposed to dry those teardrops from your eyes
Everyday with you has been the best day of my life
I'm sorry if I'm being sentimental tonight
[Chorus]
But one by one by one we fade away
Memories, one by one by one, they fade to grey
We're here for every season till we're gone without a reason
One by one by one we fade away

[Bridge]
One by one by one
You know sometimes life goes by so fast
One by one by one
All these days and nights we won't get back
One by one by one
One day soon enough you'll understand
One by one by one
That one by one by one

[Chorus]
One by one by one we fade away
Memories, one by one by one, they fade to grey
We're here for every season till we're gone without a reason
One by one by one we fade away
One by one by one we fade away

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 [?]
