Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everyone you know been through it
You bite the bullet, then you chew it
Tie the knot at the end of your rope
Buy a book to help you cope
But no consolation gonna come
You're the only one
[Verse 2]
Take a look through history
Recant some bits of poetry
You'll find the words still ring true
Some things don't change, some things do
[Verse 3]
And you're the only one with a broken heart
The only one who's afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees the blue moon
[Verse 4]
What you wouldn't give right now
To be another face in the crowd
[Verse 5]
And you're the only one who is all alone
The only one who's love is gone
The only one who has given in
The only one who will give again
[Verse 6]
And you're the only one with a broken heart
The only one who's afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees the blue moon
