The One

by Rachel Robrecht

on The Astronaut (2017)

[Verse 1]
I just got invited
To your wedding next June
I bet she's a beautiful bride but
You're a handsomer groom
So I wrote you a letter
Things I never could say
Went down to the river
Just to throw it away

[Chorus]
So tell me a secret
Now that it's all done
How did you know
I wasn't the one?

[Verse 2]
The leaves in the river
Were all painted gold
You said you were freezing
Clouded breath in the cold
You asked “Are you happy?”
And I said “Yes, of course”
And I'd tell you the truth now
But you don't come ‘round no more

[Chorus]
So tell me a secret
Now that it's all done
How did you know
I wasn't the one?

[Bridge]
And I
Saved a side of my bed
In case you ever come back
But I know
That you won't

[Verse 3]
Went down to the river
Whiskey bottle in tow
I'll drink to remember
To forget I'm alone

[Chorus]
So tell me a secret
Now that it's all done
How did you know
I wasn't the one?
