Come Undone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've seen myself in a thousand faces
Strung out on life's path
I would add up what you mean to me
But I cannot do the math
And this fashionista's garden party
Well, I had enough of that

[Chorus]
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes, the only one I come undone for

[Verse 2]
But I'm a special lover sometimes
But you only touch a ghost
I'm a sycophantic courtier
With an elegant riposte
And needless to say you're the one
That I need the most

[Chorus]
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes, the only one I come undone for is you
Well, the only one I come undone for is you

[Bridge]
I know I'm done
I now, now I see the truth
I know I'm done
I come undone for you
And you've been gone for so long
Waiting here for you
You've been gone for so long
Come undone for you

[Verse 3]
There are people in this lifetime
That we should never meet
'Cause to be here now without you
Well, my life's so incomplete
I'll tell you what you mean to me
And maybe then you'll see

[Chorus]
'Cause the only one I come undone for is you
Yes, the only one I come undone for is you
Oh, the only one I come undone for is you

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 [?]
