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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
And all the things we think of as eternal would come undone
|
All I have to say is when I'm praying
|
Is "Thank God I'm not the One"
|
|

|
Thank God I'm Not The One

The Afters |
