Would Have Been The One Lyrics - Solange Knowles

Enlightening charmer, sent from where 

A Casanova, lovely glare 

And I was chosen 

I was there 

The wells get deeper 

More unfolds 

And at the bottom there she goes 

But wells are endless 

I found more 

Flowers, candy, flirty, late nights 

On the speed dial that was you too 

Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses 

He don't dance 

But tangos with two 

I thought you plus me divided 

Me from him but I discovered 

Many more and again and again 

And you don't know 

You fill many spaces 

And she don't know 

She's one of many lies 

And he don't know 

How he stole many places 

And we all know 

We can't fix him if we tried 

I would've been the one 

I held the title 

Wore the crown 

I was the trophy 

While you ducked down 

And she was cool 

With just fooling around 

Now number four was there to ride 

And five was crazy, his wild child 

And when we're rocky 

He calls number nine 

Flowers, candy, flirty, late nightz 

On the speed dial that was you to 

Dinner, movie, sweetheart, kisses 

He don't dance 

But tangos with two 

I thought you plus me divided 

Me from him but I discovered 

Many more and more again and again 

And you don't know 

You fill many spaces 

And she don't know 

She's one of many lies 

And he don't know 

How he steals many places 

And we all know 

We can't fix him if we tried 

I would've been the one 

I was the one 

Yes, I was the one 

And yes that was my name 

Inked up on his arm 

And if he loved me that much 

And still did me wrong 

I'm feeling sorry for you, for holding on 

I was the one 

Yes, I was the one 

Keyword is "was" 

Yes, I was the one 

I figured out he was empty on my own 

He had to find the answer 

In the something, not someone 

And you don't know 

You fill many spaces 

And she don't know 

She's one of many lies 

And he don't know 

He stole many places 

And we all know 

We can't fix him if we tried 

I would've been the one
