Never meeting ‘The One’ .
All her ’Exs’ marry the next girl that comes along – she's always ‘The One Before The One’.
Thanks to Nicki for the inspiration (no femme fatale!...)
The One Before the One - Commended Entry for Best Song Lyrics at UK Songwriting Contest 2015
Lyrics: Mick Evans / Music: Makayla Colonello
Catch myself wondering
when does this girl with it all
end-up kissing her dream?
no-one comes clean
Tired of near misses
fixing a smile for the world
every day in between -
same old routine
Don’t wanna be no fading beauty
no Lady Havisham - Eleanor Rigby
The One Before The One.
Don’t wanna be no untold story
no ‘Maybe Someday’ - ‘Somebody Save Me’
The One Before The One
Strangers come easy
shining new hope in my eyes
til the cold morning light -
lost in the night
Caught in the mirror
looking for answers to why
there’s no end to this fight -
nothing feels right
Don’t wanna be no fading beauty
no Lady Havisham - Eleanor Rigby
The One Before The One.
Don’t wanna be no untold story
no ‘Maybe Someday’ – ‘Somebody Save Me’
The One Before The One
Perfect summers come and gone
bands of gold undone -
I keep the faith – but still I wonder
will my One Day ever come?
Don’t wanna be no fading beauty
no Lady Havisham - Eleanor Rigby
The One Before The One.
Don’t wanna be no untold story
no ‘Maybe Someday’ – ‘Somebody Save Me’
The One Before The One
