One For Sorrow Lyrics

I wanted your love but look what it’s done to me
All my dreams have come to nothing
Who would’ve believed
All the laughter that we shared would be a memory?
I cannot count the tears you’ve cost me
If I could’ve seen

And do you ever think of me
And how we used to be?

Oh, I know you’re somewhere else right now
And loving someone else no doubt
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad?
Are you breaking someone else’s heart?
‘Cause you’re taking my love where you are
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad about us?

I wanted your love but I got uncertainty
I tried so hard to understand you
All the good it did me
Now the places that we know remind me of how we were
Everything is just the same
But all I feel is hurt

And do you ever think of me
And how we used to be?

Oh, I know you’re somewhere else right now
And loving someone else no doubt
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad?
Are you breaking someone else’s heart?
‘Cause you’re taking my love where you are
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad about us?

And do you ever think of me
And how we used to be?

Oh, I know you’re somewhere else right now
And loving someone else no doubt
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad?
Are you breaking someone else’s heart?
‘Cause you’re taking my love where you are
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad about us?

I know you’re somewhere else right now
And loving someone else no doubt
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad?
Are you breaking someone else’s heart?
‘Cause you’re taking my love where you are
Well I’m one for sorrow
Too, too bad about us?

I know you’re somewhere else right now
And loving someone else no doubt
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad?
Are you breaking someone else’s heart?
‘Cause you’re taking my love where you are
Well I’m one for sorrow
Too, too bad about us?

(Know you’re somewhere else right now)
And loving someone else (no doubt)
Well I’m one (for sorrow)
Too, too bad about us?
(Breaking someone else’s heart?)
Are you breaking someone else’s heart?
(Taking my love where you are)
Well I’m one for sorrow
Ain’t it too, too bad about us?

jsimpson and spinningfree your both wrong - how do i know? because this song speaks my feelings.. i know its corny seen as its steps but seriously..

its talking about an ex you still have feelings for, you's finished on bad terms and you know he has someone new but you cant let go of the memorys etc..

Song Meaning

@imnotpretending I do agree 100%. May I add you try to heal that feeling going to places you both went together and it even makes you feel worse. Reminds me of Bacharach's "I just don't know what to do with myself".

good song

Cover art for One For Sorrow lyrics by Steps

this song is about being cheated on and the person being cheated on wants their ex to think about it before going off hence 'And do you ever think of me, And how we used to be? '

In fact I interpreted this song the opposite way from Jsimpson88. When I heard this song, it sounded like it's from the perspective of the girl he was on cheating on with- the 3rd party in the relationship. Perhaps she only just became aware that she's the 3rd party and she's now devastated to know that she's only the other girl. All she wanted was his love but look what it's done to her. And now she knows he's somewhere else and loving someone else. But he has taken her love with him wherever he is but she can't do anything abt it and it's just such a shame now.

Might sound nuts but that's exactly how I interpreted the song!
