Lyrics for The Chosen One
At the start, I knew It always would be you Those were your words That's what you said To the end of time You said you'd be mine How could it end like this instead? We were young We were so in love And our future went on and on This was the love of all time I thought I was the chosen one I thought we were in love forever You said you would never let me down You were my one and only one We said we would stay together So, tell me, what do we do now? (We do now) You've chosen another one You've chosen another one It was right, so right As day must follow night My equilibrium is gone I was wrong, so wrong So, where do I belong? You were the one I counted on How we laughed How I loved you so How could this be true? God above you know That this is the crime of all time I thought I was the chosen one I thought we were in love forever You said you would never let me down You were my one and only one We said we would love forever So, tell me, how do I go on? (Chose another one) I thought I was the chosen one I thought we were in love forever You said you would never let me down You were my one and only one We said we would love forever So, tell me, what do we do now?
