Lyrics for If You're Not The One as interpreted by ruben

If You're Not The One Lyrics
If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I

I absolutely love this song. The lyrics are great. I can totally relate. It's about being so perfect for someone that you aren't with...or can't be with.....and the person just doesn't understand why they aren't together...because is so right.

I think it reflects the feeling of falling in love. You constantly wish them to be there and sometimes you don't understand why you feel the way you do.

This song is about, a guy and a girl abvious, who recently broke up, and the guy cannot understand what went wrong, and he wants her back b/c shes the one for him... you can use almost any part of this song for this but
"If I donÂ’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I donÂ’t need you then why does your name resound in my head? "
he wants her back and is making his plee to her .... mad good song by the way

Ok -honestly i must say this song didnt strike me as benig that great...until i listened to the words. Its not really my type o' music, but then i loved the words....the line that first hooked me was "If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?" .... somehow that simply summarizes the epitamy of relationships.... *Bobbie* :)

I love this song! When I first heard it I didn't know who it was by. It took weeks for me to find the artist. Once I found out who sang it I had to run out and buy it.

It sounds like a great song that goes with a "True Love" relationship. Perhaps one day .. this will be my song with my B/F .. that is .. if I ever get one! lmao Anywho .. love it! And I'll never get tired of it!

I think this song is about a long distance relationship, and people on the outside are saying things like , "oh long distance relationships never work, sorry buddy, guess it just wasn't meant to be." So part of him is saying, just get out of it, because it's not worth the trouble, everyone is right...but he knows that he loves he so much that distance won't change his feelings, and perhaps makes his feelings stronger ("absence make the heart grow fonder type of thing). ANyway, I adore this song, the first time I heard it, I cried and pretty much every time I hear it it makes me cry. It's lovely, and especially Daniel's falsetto -quite impressive.

*sniff, sniff.* Aw, this song is so cute. I wasn't so into it the first time I heard it, but it grows on you. Normally, this is a bit too mushy for my taste, but its a really good song. Daniel Bedingfield rox!

i agree so muchhhh w/ what empyreanhorizon said.. i do think too that somehow, it's abt long-distance-rel'ships...those are tough and i dont know anyone who doesnt doubt abt such situations, but anyway, the song is more on showin the other side that it's gonna work..or that it shld work because they're meant to be each other's THE ONE.

when I first heard this song, I was hooked. I am involved in a strange relationship with a super super man, and I can't be with him at this moment, but we both dream about being together...I kinda already have a man...but this man makes me so happy. We have been friends for a few years, but something finally "clicked" and I never dreamed a man could be this way....I want him to know that though we aren't together NOW, that I hope one day we will be...I love him...

ha, well, after reviewing almost every comment(actually first time i saw the word boyfriend, i immidiatly skiped to the next one..gets rather old..i love my boyfriend..this is to him...blah blah blah but thats almost expected in EVERY comment of a sappy love song) i have decided not to even mention a boyfriend. or a relationship(for those of you,such as myself, who ARE sick of hearing about other girl's(or boys..thats pretty sick but anyway) boyfriends. alright, its like this..i am really not the sappy boy band(even tho this is one person singing he still sounds like "boy band material") love song type but i heard this song and i was rather taken back by it. u dont really hear songs like this anymore. usually, its all i love you and i need you or its, i miss you, i want you back..i was a dumbass...er watever OR its get in my pants. one of those. this one is more like, i wanna be with you but we cant be together. i kinda like that......

empyreanhorizon, you pretty much stole the words right out of my mouth...lol. i really do think that it's about a long distance relationship. this song really does describe what i'm goin through. see, i really like this guy that lives in texas, but i live in florida...very difficult. if i ever get to see him, it's only in the summer...durn. i really do believe that long distance relationships can work if you really pray to God about it and if it's meant to be, then God will help you through it. by the way, my favorite part of the song is:"though i can't be with you tonight, know my heart is by your side." well...think i've written enough..lol. may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
*proud to be a Christian!!!*

the first time i heard this song, i had just broken up with my bf. needless to say, this song definately has meaning to it. my bf and i are back together but the song still is signifigant to me. i think the words are amazing...almost as if it was writen about me. i think thats why its so good; it displays emotions that anyone can have. people can easily relate. haha although i think daniel bedingfields voice can get a bit girly, i still enjoy it. i can hear this song now, at proms and weddings all over the place!

the very first time I heard this song on the radio, i just thought it was simply fantastic.I think that this song is about a guy that has just broken up with his girlfriend and is still wondering wut it was that went wrong in their relationship. He knows that he still loves her but she doesnt love him back. But really, damn this song was, great!!! <3

Great song!!!! When my husband and I were dating we tool a 2 day break (he wanted to figure things out). I remember thinking some of the things that are in this song and had wished there was a song to describe how i felt. Well 2 years later here it is. Although there are 0 breaks going on in this relationship i can still relate. Absolutley wonderful song!!!
