The Only One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Resurrect us all
I wanna be forever young
Wishing more wishes, in debt
Why do I need to carry on?


[Pre-Chorus]
Can I be the only one?
Uh, rest assured, I'm having fun
Every night, a hit and run
Is it the hardest thing you've ever done?

[Chorus]
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
Can I, can I be the only one?

[Verse 2]
Emoticons
Sending faces in polygons
Here's another wish instead
Ah, with a candle light a cigarette

[Pre-Chorus]
Can I be the only one
Uh, giving hugs and getting none?
Spending hours in the sun
Is it the hardest thing you've ever done?

[Chorus]
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
How can I be the only one?
Can I, can I be the only one?

[Bridge]
Reckless tears in my mind
Reckless tears all the time
Reckless tears in my mind
Reckless tears all the time
Reckless tears in my mind
Reckless tears all the time
Reckless tears in my mind
Reckless tears all the time

[Chorus]
How can I be the only one? (Reckless tears in my mind)
How can I be the only one? (Reckless tears all the time)
How can I be the only one? (Reckless tears in my mind)
Can I, can I be the only one? (Reckless tears all the time)

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 [?]
