Harry Nilsson
One
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

I’ve seen it happen, I’ve lost my way in the rapping
Counting to six, picking up sticks
Won’t do you any good when you’re heart feels missed
It’s like all I ever do is cry in the bed
Screaming in my heart, pounding in my chest
Don’t talk to me, I’m processing the rest
Of my conversations, I’m down in the head
And nobody here will try to stop me
It seems they don’t try to be honest with me
I’m losing my focus, the demon’s enormous
And I don’t know if I have the strength to move forward, like
I don’t know if this is really real music
I’m just starting to stand but my heart keeps moving
And I have no idea how to stop this pain
All I do everyday it’s hurting my brain

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

I’ve seen it before, I’m running the game without a score
I’m running the world without a torch
My heart’s on fire from the things that I know
And I just wanna tell you that I feel better
From all the things that you taught me
You taught me that appearances can be deceiving
Even if I’m having fun one day I’m a gon’ be grieving
Not again, I made another dumb mistake
My heart depends on this surface, give or take
I try to swim, but I’m drowning in the lake
Of my fears, I’ve got hundreds every day
I try to live, I try to give, my heart for this, but then I miss
I didn’t quit, I’m still gon’ win, I’m sorry the things I said, they’re in my head, I’m gonna get em out of there
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do, oo whoah

I’m sorry for irrelevance, honestly I’m meant for this
I try to fly but the sun’s in my way again, Icarus
But I’m not gonna try to live life like a dimbus
I’m just a part of the resolution
Part of the institution
I wanna be known as someone with a solution
Not giving up every time, there’s no excuses
I am the one that saw glimpses in you
I am the one that saw different in you
And different is good, I admit that is true
That’s why I’m here doing the things that I do

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
