IF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE
by Daniel Bedingfield
If you’re not the one,
Then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one,
Then why does my hand
Fit yours this way?
If you are not mine,
Then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine,
Would I have the strength to stand at all?
I'll never know what the future brings,
But I know you're here with me now.
We’ll make it through.
And I hope you are the one
I share my life with.
[Chorus:]
I don’t want to run away,
But I can’t take it, I don’t understand.
If I’m not made for you,
Then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way
That I can stay in your arms?
If I don’t need you,
Then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you,
Then why does your name
Resound in my head?
If you’re not for me,
Then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me,
Then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don’t know why you’re so far away,
But I know that this much is true.
We’ll make it through.
And I hope you are the one
I share my life with.
And I wish that you could be
The one I die with.
And I pray in you’re the one
I build my home with.
I hope I love you all my life.
[Chorus]
‘Cause I miss you, body and soul,
So strong that it takes my breath away.
And I breathe you into my heart
And pray for the strength to stand today.
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right.
And though I can’t be with you tonight,
You know my heart is by your side.
[Chorus]
