I'm The One
I'm hiding in a bush outside your window
I'm feeling sick and numb
Fed all my best lines to my best friend
So he could be the one
But I'm jerk because it worked
And I've just realised what I've done
Ever since I'd told her about my parents, I'd felt something special with her. I hadn't really felt this way before. She couldn't be mine though. She was with Mick.
Guess I'll never be the guy to get the girl
Set it up so that he could rock your world
Promise me when you scream you fake it
But I knew a secret about Mick that nobody did. He still had feelings for Amber.
I needed to tell her how I felt about her. But how?
Mara, I'm the one you should be dating
Seeing you with him is so frustrating
I taught him everything he knows
You fell for ever single line I gave him
I know that I'm dumb
But Mara ... I'm the one
None of my other brilliant plans would work with her. She was a girl, not a friend I could manipulate.
So maybe I should just go home now
And let you have your fun
It doesn't make it any easier
I live across the street but one
But if that clown let's you down
Mara, you know where to come
She was the most amazing person I'd ever met. She meant everything to me. Yes I could've been the guy to get the girl
Yes I could've been the one to rock your world
But I'm not, so I've got to face it
I'd helped Mick to get Mara. She should be dating me, not him. Mara, I'm the one you should be dating
Seeing you with him is so frustrating
I taught him everything he knows
He's just a fraud 'cos I'm the guy who made him
I couldn't help being sad whenever I saw them together. She looked so happy with him. She should be happy with me. I actually had a future.
I know that I'm dumb
But Mara ... I'm the one
Suddenly there was a timid knock on my door. Mara came in, her mascara running and her face wet with tears.
"What's wrong Mara?" I asked, concerned.
"It's-it's Mick. He's been cheating on me. . . with Amber," She broke down crying. I walked over to her and hugged her tightly.
Who can't believe you're at my door
Cos he confessed that he'd been cheatin'
Suddenly a chance for me to tell the secret I'd been keeping
I am the one
The next day at school, I found Mara in a good mood.
"Finally dumped meat head?" I asked, smiling.
"Of course not!" she said, bubbling with happiness, "He's not going to cheat on me again! We're back together!" You said you valued his integrity
And honesty is rare
He swore to you he'd never cheat again
He cried and said he cared
Well, he's a jerk because it worked
My face fell. I'd hoped to tell her how I felt today. Now I couldn't. As she walked away, I buried my head in my hands.
"But Mara. . . I love you." Mara, I'm the one you should be dating
Seeing you with him is so frustrating
I taught him everything he knows
He used to be my best friend now I hate him
And it sucks that he won
Cos he's a dick and you're amazing
I know that I'm dumb
But Mara... I'm the one
