She's the one

VERSE 1:

She looks at me with those sincere eyes

Says "I'm different, you'll see in time"

Words I've heard a thousand times before

But somehow I still fall for the line

PRE-CHORUS:

She says...

CHORUS:

"I'm the real one, baby

The one who's gonna stay

I'm the real one, honey

Not like the rest, no way"

Then goodbye texts at 3 AM

And I'm back where I began

Telling myself "never again"

Until the next "real one" walks in

VERSE 2:

New name, same story every spring

Different face, identical ring

Friends all laugh, they've seen this scene

But my heart's a slow learner, it seems

(REPEAT PRE-CHORUS AND CHORUS)

VERSE 3:

Six months in, her tone starts to change

Phone calls missed, plans rearranged

Promises fade like morning dew

I'm shocked, though I saw it coming too

PRE-CHORUS:

But she said...

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE:

One day I'll learn my lesson

One day I'll break this chain

But until then I'm confessing

I'm addicted to this game

Take my broken heart and wrap it up real nice

Put a bow on top, call it sacrifice

Tell myself this time it's truly different

While my friends just shake their heads in silence

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE 4:

Next week there she'll be, across the bar

New victim lined up, right on par

She'll look at him with those sincere eyes

And I'll watch as he falls for the same lines

FINAL CHORUS:

"I'm the real one, baby

The one who's gonna stay

I'm the real one, honey"

But I finally walked away

No more texts at 3 AM

I'm not where I began

Finally learned "never again"

When the next "real one" walks in

OUTRO:

I won't let the next "real one" walk in

No, the next "real one" won't walk in

Finally free from the "real one" spin
