Píseň: Down To One

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
Skin
What went right 
What went wrong
Doesn't really matter much
When it's gone


Was it too hard to try
Was it too hard to lie
Did you just grow tired of hello and goodbye
Was it the naked truth that made you run
Where do I go now
That I'm down to one


Sooner or later
We all end up walking alone
I'm down to one
My heart is a traitor
It led me down this road
Now it's done
I'm down to one


I want to know where I failed
I want to know where I sinned
Cause I don't want to ever feel this way again
Was the wanting too deep
Did it block your sun
Where do I go now
That I'm down to one


What am I supposed to think
What am I gonna say
What did I ever know
About this love anyway
