- The Only One LyricsI am the only one that thinks I'm going crazy
and I don't know what to do
and I am the only son of a pastor I know
who does the things I do
but if it was you
I don't think that it would matter
and if it was true
then I just wouldn't matter
I was amazed at the color and shapes you do
a paper part for two
I am the only son of a bastard I know
that knows the bastard too
because it was you
I called it a different story
but if I was you
I'd make this a simpler story
I bet you did what you did
when you did it
to do it again
by the time you were done with it
I bet you did what you did
when you did
just to tell every friend that you have
that the Lord did it
I finally knew that I simply couldn't matter
you finally knew that you simply couldn't matter
I guess it's true you never knew
the passive power of the truth
would let me lose
if I could write another phrase
we might be better off this way
but there's no use
and I don't know what to do
and I am the only son of a pastor I know
who does the things I do
but if it was you
I don't think that it would matter
and if it was true
then I just wouldn't matter
I was amazed at the color and shapes you do
a paper part for two
I am the only son of a bastard I know
that knows the bastard too
because it was you
I called it a different story
but if I was you
I'd make this a simpler story
when you did it
to do it again
by the time you were done with it
I bet you did what you did
when you did
just to tell every friend that you have
that the Lord did it
I finally knew that I simply couldn't matter
you finally knew that you simply couldn't matter
I guess it's true you never knew
the passive power of the truth
would let me lose
if I could write another phrase
we might be better off this way
but there's no use

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, tyler John Hartman's 'The Only One' is a thoroughgoing exploration of the loneliness and self-criticism of a person. The metaphorical expression 'paper cut for two' is among those used in the song to indicate how difficult it is to go through personal problems without the support of others. The only one lyrics greatly reflect the artist's inner states: angst, heartbreak, despair, contemplation, and isolation. Besides, the song also highlights the concepts of self-doubt and era of identity crisis, disillusionment and blaming, and shrugging off issues. Personal struggle, identity, and perhaps complicated relations are the topics that the lyrics touch upon, and these might be more appropriate for a grown-up audience.
