One Before the One

Would've been really cool to love you if you'd given me the chance

Instead, you strayed me along for six whole months like I'm some kind of experiment

Would be really good to know you now, what's that version like?

Does he ever look back? Does he ever feel bad for leaving me behind?

It's like I almost get it, then somehow I fuck it up and lose it

I don't really think I'm the problem, but I've got no way to prove it

So go ahead and break my heart and

Never finish what we started

Like I'm good until I'm not

When your training wheels come off

I'm having trouble getting past this

I'm only perfect if I'm practice

Just slightly not enough

Always the one before the one

Maybe this is just my purpose, to make you realize

Exactly who and what you want, that must be nice to find

It's like I almost get it, then somehow I fuck it up and lose it

I don't really think I'm the problem, but I've got no way to prove it

So go ahead and break my heart and

Never finish what we started

Like I'm good until I'm not

When your training wheels come off

I'm having trouble getting past this

I'm only perfect if I'm practice

Just slightly not enough

Always the one before the one

I see your photos on the internet

Yeah, he's got the same face, but he's not the same man

I can't help to think that I could've had a life with that

'Cause I'm having trouble getting past this

I'm only perfect if I'm practice

Just slightly not enough

Always the one before the one
