About Only One

"Only One" is the third single from American band Yellowcard. This song is the third and last single from Ocean Avenue and the sixth track. Known for being another TRL hit, it is one of Yellowcard's lengthier tracks, partly due to its violin solo. "Only One" was shortened, from 4:17 to 3:55, for radio airplay purposes. The violin solo in the bridge was cut. In this song, vocalist/guitarist Ryan Key plays the bass. The video was the last to feature Ben Harper as the lead guitarist, and the first to feature Pete Mosely as the bassist.

Broken, this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces.
And I've thrown my words all around,
But I can't, I can't give you a reason.

I feel so broken up (so broken up),
And I give up (I give up),
I just want to tell you so you know..

Here I go,
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you,
You are my only one.
I let go,
There's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only,
My only one.

Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long.
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when your gone.

And something's breaking up (breaking up),
I feel like giving up (like giving up),
I won't walk out until you know..

Here I go
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you,
You are my only one.
I let go
There's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only,
My only one.

Here I go,
So dishonestly.
Leave a note
For you my only one.
And I know,
You can see right through me.
So let me go
And you will find someone.

Here I go,
Scream my lungs out and try to get to you,
You are my only one.
I let go,
There's just no one, no one like you
You are my only,
My only one.

My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only,
My only one.
