The One and Only Me

Together, we were a team Together, we had it all You would gently hold my hand Together, we took down the wall. But everything is now past tense No more "us" or "we" It's another page, a new chapter Of what will never be. The walls of my room are empty without your music They cry, "Save me! Save me!" My heart is now as empty As empty could ever be. I call your cell Longing for it not to be true But it just rings til I hear the dial tone Cutting off all ties I had to you. People always say the same thing, "Breaking up is hard to do." But this wasn't just a little break-up It's the end of a love I believed was true. I just want to stay here And listen to the rain That's falling all around me So I can wash the world away. Since then, I've walked so far And now I can truly see That the only person I really needed Was the one and only me.
