One in a Million

She was so good, but I was scared

That nothing ever lasts for long

They say it's better to have loved and lost

But I couldn't bear to lose it all

So back and forth, I dragged it on

And she didn't know what was wrong

And it wasn't that obvious to me

No, I didn't want to get to close

But still I didn't want to let her go

It seems we always end up hurting in the end

But then I threw all caution to the wind

And I opened up and let her in

And now she's got me high as the ceiling

Cuz she's one in a million

It felt so good to hold her close

Like it was almost worth the risk

Sometimes it's better to leave it alone

But I couldn't at a time like this

And she grabbed my hand and pulled me through

Though I didn't expect her to

Why wasn't it obvious to me?

No, I didn't want to get to close

But still I didn't want to let her go

It seems we always end up hurting in the end

But then I threw all caution to the wind

And I opened up and let her in

And now she's got me high as the ceiling

Cuz she's one in a million

And like a soldier she held strong

And swore she'd never run away

Though she could have come and gone

No, she stayed

No, I didn't want to get too close

But still I didn't want to let her go

It seems we always end up leaving in the end

But then I stopped looking for a sign

And I took that girl and made her mine

And now she's got me high as the ceiling

Cuz she's one in a million
