Song Lyrics

I was the one
I was the one who tried to pick you up
But the other one was waiting
I could not afford to be stood up
Right as you call
Right as you call "I have to get my stuff"
Don't defend the decision
Or pretend it didn't happen to us

Just before I could go
She would run run run run run run run
She was the one
She was the one who tried to break us
One who tried to take us apart
She was the one
Before the fun had even begun

And I hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
All the time time time
Hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
All the time time time time time time time

But forgiving is fun
Over the nights I knew that she was the one
I get my day book open just to angle for a coffee with someone
But she'll never fall (in love)
She'll never fall in love with one of us
She's the time to keep us thinking
All along that we've got things worked up

Just before all I saw
I could run run run run run run
She was the one
She was the one who tried to break us
One that tried to take us apart
She was the one
Before the fun had even begun

And I hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
All the time time time
Hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
All the time time time time time time time

You and I both know that's real enough to let it go
But still
We've got things all thinking all the time
Enough to talk about
And you know why things go wrong

She was the one
She was the one who tried to break us
One who tried to take us apart
Yeah, she was the one
Before the fun had even begun
And I hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
All the time time time
Hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
Hardly think about her
All the time time time time time time time
I think that she was the one
I think that she was the one
