To Be the One (demo) Songtext
von Ryan Adams

Well the pills I got, they ask me, "let′s go out for a while"
And the knives up in the kitchen are all too dull to smile
Oh, and the sun, it tries to warn me
"Boy, those wings are made of wax"
While the things I do to kill me
They just tell me to relax

Oh, Cinderella
All dressed up in all your boots and all your charms
I'm not the fellow
To protect you or to keep you from all your harm


And I don′t know which is worse
To wake up and see the sun
Or to be the one, be the one that's gone

And the empty bottle, it misses you
And I'm the one that it′s talking to
And with you and I just barely strangers
I′m pretty much just left a fool
Oh, amn, don't the streets feel empty, though?
Just wandering ′round here without you
Oh, the empty bottle, it misses you
And I'm the one it′s talking to

I don't know which is worse
To wake up and see the sun
Or to be the one, be the one that′s gone
