How could You walk when You went down that dusty street / How could You speak when all your friends checked out / How could You love after the great betrayal / How could you reach out when they nailed You down /

(Chorus) True as true can be / That's what they say You are to me when I'm so fake / Does Your heart ache / If I had been the one I would not have been that strong / If I had been the one, yeah, I'd have been long gone /

How could You hang on with Your mama crying / How could You keep on breathing in and out / How could You watch while Your whole world was dying / Did it all happen cause we let You down /

/ Repeat Chorus /

And all the things we think of as eternal would come undone / All I have to say when I'm praying / Is "Thank God I'm not the One"
