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 called Right as you called, I had 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 and more But forgiving is fun On the nights when I knew that she was the one I kept my date book open Just to angle for a coffee with someone But she'll never fall She'll never fall in love with one of us She's the type 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, 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 and more 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 All the time, time, time, time, time, time, time and more I think that she was the one I think that she was the one
