The Only One I Know Lyrics

The only one I know, has come to take me away
The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me

The only one I see, has found an aching in me
The only one I see, has turned her tongue into me

Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain

The only one I know, never cries, never opens her eyes
The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away

The only one I see, is mine when she walks down the street
The only one I see, has carved her way into me

Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain

Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain

What is the Meaning of The Only One I Know?

Delving into the realm of unrequited love and heartache, this track paints a vivid picture of longing and despair. The lyrics suggest a deep affection for a woman who remains emotionally distant, causing a profound sense of pain. The repeated line "everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain" serves as a universal truth about love's often cruel nature. The protagonist seems to be in a state of constant yearning for this woman's attention and approval, which he only sporadically receives. Despite his suffering, he remains fixated on her - she is 'the only one he knows'. This song is an exploration of the tormenting yet addictive cycle of loving someone who may not reciprocate those feelings in the same way.
