The Only One is a song on the second studio album, The Open Door.
Writing and Meaning
"Like You" is written in memory of Amy Lee's deceased sister, as was "Hello" on Fallen. Lee stated: "I can't help but be affected by that, and if it's my place to express myself and all the things that have been most deep and the most painful and have just touched me, I feel like it does honor her."
Lyrics
you know you're not the only onethumb|350px|right
When they all come crashing down- mid-flight
you know you're not the only one
when they're so alone they find a back door out of life
you know you're not the only one
We're all grieving
lost and bleeding
All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes- hypnotized
you know you're not the only one
never understood this life
and you're right I don't deserve but you know I'm not the only one
We're all grieving
lost and bleeding
All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me
Don't look down
don't look into the eyes of the world beneath you
don't look down, you'll fall down,
you'll become their sacrifice
right or wrong
can't hold onto the fear that I'm lost without you
if I can't feel, I'm not mine,
I'm not real
All our lives
we've been waiting
for someone to call our leader
all your lies
I'm not believing
heaven shine a light down on me
