Lyrics
"This Is Not The One"
© 2011 Capers Simmons (ASCAP)
VERSE I
Promises are made of porcelain and jade and gold,
Faith and hope.
But see that when they break, the porcelain and jade are only stones,
Jagged and cold.
PRECHORUS I
They cut you when you touch them,
Everything is broken or gone,
But hold on.
CHORUS
All that glitters is glass.
All that glass can shatter.
And all that shatters, falls apart, you'll put back together.
Some things last forever,
But this is not the one.
VERSE II
Bitterness is learned. Every time you're burned, you know
More and more.
But confidence is earned if every time you're burned, you grow
More than before.
PRECHORUS II
So let the pieces fall down.
Leave them where they are, now, child.
Learn to smile.
~ CHORUS ~
BRIDGE
This is not the one,
Never meant to be.
I know you hurt so much,
I know you don't believe,
But this is not the one.
Someday you will see
The truth in you.
~ PRECHORUS II ~ CHORUS ~
