One and One Made Three
I remember
I smiled once
You had that affect on me
There was nowhere else I wanted to be
Being with you was my ecstasy
Time stood still
You were like a happy pill
Or at least until
You became a yesterday
You took your love away
Still in the end it was okay
Night comes at the end of every day
You had somewhere else to be
I know now you weren't meant for me
For you love was a kinda game
I played it without the rules
Lovers love and boys can be fools
We sat at loves counter
You rotated the stools
I got dizzy on pretty
Your eyes gorgeous blue
It was hard to believe I was there with you
One was one and then we were two
At least until you decided that we were through
So I gained, a suspicious smile
Somewhat wary for a little while
Traded in substance for a bit of style
You left my heart on high alert
I learned to be cool
With an unbuttoned shirt
I made the rules so I wouldn't be hurt
In the end I wasn't being me
My one and ones
turned out to be threes
As I looked at them
it was you I would see
Realizing that became my key
I unlocked my heart
Finally set myself free
Leaving you in the past
So I could discover me
I needed to wait a while
Before becoming a we
