lyrics
Heartbroken and alone
The alcohol was gone
And in rushed the past
(I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran)
My self-esteem was such a mess
I gathered girls like a contest
Love 'em and dash
(I wrecked, I wrecked, I wrecked, I wrecked)
Pretended I was some kind of player
Write 'em down, one name per line
But those acts brought me to my lowest
And she came just in time
And I made her mine
I attached myself to her
It was safe and familiar
I knew how to romance
(I danced, I danced, I danced, I danced)
The words and touch were right
Enough to bind her to my side
And so we began
(To love, to love, to love, to love)
But the truth was I still grieved
Too much to fill her needs
The lie couldn't last
(Deny, deny, deny, deny)
Once hurt cuz my heart was too open
So I did it differently this time
I held back while taking freely
I brought her lows more often than highs
And she said good-bye
She wanted something better
She deserved something better
Knew it the day I met her
She deserved something better
The alcohol was gone
And in rushed the past
(I ran, I ran, I ran, I ran)
My self-esteem was such a mess
I gathered girls like a contest
Love 'em and dash
(I wrecked, I wrecked, I wrecked, I wrecked)
Pretended I was some kind of player
Write 'em down, one name per line
But those acts brought me to my lowest
And she came just in time
And I made her mine
I attached myself to her
It was safe and familiar
I knew how to romance
(I danced, I danced, I danced, I danced)
The words and touch were right
Enough to bind her to my side
And so we began
(To love, to love, to love, to love)
But the truth was I still grieved
Too much to fill her needs
The lie couldn't last
(Deny, deny, deny, deny)
Once hurt cuz my heart was too open
So I did it differently this time
I held back while taking freely
I brought her lows more often than highs
And she said good-bye
She wanted something better
She deserved something better
Knew it the day I met her
She deserved something better

about
And Then There Was One Boston, Massachusetts
And Then There Was One is Stevie Caldwell’s solo project, an outlet for a very personal, atmospheric and powerful sound which finds its niche somewhere between genres: it’s rock at its core, flowing from mid-tempo melodic grooves into crunchy angst-ridden alt rock, which she describes as much like her personality. ... more
