Not the Only One

Date: 03/24/2004

I'm a fake plastic flower
I'm a big open book
I'm a warm spring shower that hovers

I'm a no good thief
And a fake and a cheat
I'm a dangerous ember of fire

I'm the best lie that you ever told
I'm the last person you'll ever know

But I am not the only one
And I don't even know what you're thinking
I am not the only one
I really didn't know what you wanted
I'm a big white fish
In an ocean of light
I'm a story that you never could tell

I'm a hint from the past
Like a sharp blade of grass
I'm the dead weight holding you down

I'm the one person you couldn't run from
I'm the last bullet left in the gun

But I am not the only one
I swear I don't know what you're thinking
Yeah I am not the only one
I never really knew what you wanted
Would you give me an ordinary
Conversational piece
A fairy tale story
You could believe

'Cuz I am not the only one
I didn't even know what you were thinking
Yeah I am not the only one
I never really knew what you wanted

I am not the only one
I swear I'm not the only one out there
Yeah I am not the only one
I'm not the only
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I am not the only one for you

Another line that was dropped was, "Leave me alone, I'm not the wall" which led to the idea of saying all the things I am, followed by the one thing I'm not...
