Lyrics Only One - Patty Smyth

Only One

It was a house it was a home it had a soul where we once lived
But like a ghost just that doesn’t know which way to go I’m all alone
Your memory haunts me like this
I know you decided you needed a change but there were other eyes watching
They were taking the blame
They want to know when you’re coming back again
Tell me what to say
Cause I’m not the only one who lays awake
Waiting for your call
I’m not the only one who listens for your footsteps in the hall
No, you left us all
It was bad it was good it was life it was true
Why did you give up the fight?
Cause you took more than one last look
When you walked out the door that night
And I’m not the only one who falls apart
Every time you don’t call
I’m not the only one trying to act so big when inside I feel so small
No, you left us all
And the dog stands by the door, but you’re not coming home no more
And the kids are in the den watching family guy again, and again, and again
And I’m not the only one who’s been replaced in the pictures on your wall
I’m not the only one You put her above forgot who you loved when she called
No, I’m not the only one who falls apart every time you don’t call
I’m not the only one who listens for your foot stepped in the Hall
You left us all
Tell em it’s not their fault
