Slow Machines - You Weren't the One Lyrics

This old heart sure can take a beating
Well I'm starting to believe it was meant to
History just keeps repeating
Still don't know what I'm getting myself into
Cause you were the start of this pain in my heart
And it just doesn't seem to be healing
And it's just an odd adolescent charade
That for all these long years I've been believing
But you weren't the one
You're just the one who was there
Isn't destiny fleeting?
No one wins there's no end to the movie
Desperate souls just careening
Slow machines decay slowly but surely
I'm just sitting here reeling
We're the ones that your god played a joke on
Desperately needed feeding
So he gave us an apple to choke on
And I'm always screaming that there's just no meaning
But nobody seems to believe me
And still you contend that the angels are sending you
Hymns to the screen of your TV
But you're not the one
You're just the one who was there
Guess I could have been clearer
When I said there was nothing left for us
I was writing the verses
You were still singing along with the chorus
But you're just a song I been singing along to
That just didn't have any meaning
The words are banal
Making no sense at all
As the melody just keeps on repeating
But you weren't the one
You're just the one who was there
You weren't the one
You're just the one who was there
