How could You walk when You went down that dusty street   How could You speak when all Your friends checked out      How could You love after the great betrayal   How could You reach out when they nailed You down      True as true can be   That's what they say You are to me    When I'm so fake does Your heart ache   If I had been the one I would not have been that strong   If I had been the one   Yeah   I'd have been long gone      How could You hang on with Your mama crying   How could You keep on breathing in and out      How could You watch while Your whole world was dying   Did it all happen 'cause we let you down      True as true can be   That's what they say You are to me    When I'm so fake does Your heart ache   If I had been the one I would not have been that strong   If I had been the one   Yeah   I'd have been long gone      And all the things we think of eternal would come undone   All I have to say is when I'm praying I thank God I'm not the One       If I had been around      And all the things we think of eternal would come undone   All I have to say is when I'm praying I thank God I'm not the One   Thank God I'm not the One   Thank God I'm not the One   Thank God I'm not the One   Thank God I'm not the One   One
