To Be The One

It started so easy, in the wink of an eye
The moment you cut the cable
The rest of the world goes drifting by
Leaving me high and dry

Your love was there waiting, to slip me the key
It's just that behind my curtain
Your love wasn't getting through to me
Setting my spirit free

What started me thinking of changing the plan?
What took me so long to find out
That you only want me as I am?
Want me the way that I am

See how the silence brings it on down to you

And all that I need is to believe that it's true
This lesson is over, hey
This message got through, hey
I'm turning the corner
You know that I'm coming home to you, yeah
To be the one I can be
What started me thinking of changing the plan?
What took me so long to find out
That you only want me as I am?
Want me the way that I am

You know you told me, but I had to find it out for myself
No, sweet baby, I cried
And when I saw the way I hurt you
Saw the tears in your eyes
But now it's different 'cause I'm learning from my past mistakes
And I never make the same ones twice

Listen to me while I tell you
This is no disguise

See how the silence brings it on down to you
Oh, and all that I need is to believe that it's true
I do believe it
This lesson is over, hey
This message got through, hey
And I'm turning the corner
You know that I'm coming home to you, yeah
To be what I can be

To be what I can be, yeah
To be what I can be
To be what I can be, yeah
To be what I can be
To be what I can be
