Never Be The One

I know that you think I'm beneath you
It's in your eyes, it's in your voice, your words, everything that you do
I try to block it out 'cause I hope for the best in those I meet
But you think differently, you think my place is on the ground under your feet

I'm looking for someone to take me back to the days of old
When neighbors helped each other, before this world became so cold
When people lent a hand without thinking "What will this do for me?"
Before this world was overrun with greed

Now I know that you're not the one to take me back to yesterday
And I know that you will never put your arms around me and say
That you'll be there for me from now until eternity
You will never be the one

I try to change your thinking so you're not so selfish
But you keep fighting me, and I know my goal will never be accomplished
You don't have charm, you don't have class, you're not compassionate
What good is all your beauty if there's nothing behind it?

When we met, you seemed so innocent
In the beginning, you seemed so sweet
But now I've seen the evil monster inside
And I realize you were just manipulating me

So now I don't want to spend another minute here with you
Because I can't accept the evil things you always do
You take pleasure in others' pain, I see it brings you endless joy
And I will not be your pawn anymore, I am not your toy

I have respect, and you have disdain
I try to bring pleasure, you try to cause pain
I am always humble, and you want to humiliate
I try to spread love, you only want to spread hate

I wish that the rain could wash your stain off of my soul
But I know it's there to stay, it's a reminder of the toll
I'll have to pay if I ever want to be part of your world again
But I know there's no way you could ever be my friend

I'm looking for someone to travel down this road with me
Someone who knows compassion, consideration, and responsibility
But with each passing day, my hope fades a little more
And I'm not sure I'll find the one I'm looking for

Now I know that you're not the one I'll wake up with each day
And I know that you'll never look into my eyes and say
That we will be together, now, tomorrow, and forever
You will never be the one

You spread such hatred
With everything you did
You thought you'd push me to the floor
But I am stronger than before

Now I know that our time together has come to an end
Still, I wish that you were good enough for me to call you my friend
But you were never there for me, and I've learned from my history
You could never be the one
No, you will never be the one
I really wish you were the one
