One Day Lyrics
Sister don't mind that i'm not on time
she knows that i'm through with that
sick of trying, don't let mine
mama's still loving and daddy still loves
they know that i'm here like that
i'm like mine: true and kind
Call me aside and i will now be
and i will be fine with that
don't leave me now, you might love me back
distance is fine, i know you can't care
and nothing is big like that
you don't see me now, i don't see you back
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
just to remind you i'm a mistake
how come you don't want to know?
you don't wanna see, you don't wanna show
kicking myself, i know that you're tough
yeah we can pretend we're that
gotta see how, you gotta leave that
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
snow is outside but i'm by your fire
i feel all the love you'll bring
you gotta see how we can see this out
summer in mind and spring by your side
you'll see all the love we'll keep
gotta see that we couldn't be there
one day i'll be fine with that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
she knows that i'm through with that
sick of trying, don't let mine
mama's still loving and daddy still loves
they know that i'm here like that
i'm like mine: true and kind
and i will be fine with that
don't leave me now, you might love me back
distance is fine, i know you can't care
and nothing is big like that
you don't see me now, i don't see you back
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
how come you don't want to know?
you don't wanna see, you don't wanna show
kicking myself, i know that you're tough
yeah we can pretend we're that
gotta see how, you gotta leave that
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?
i feel all the love you'll bring
you gotta see how we can see this out
summer in mind and spring by your side
you'll see all the love we'll keep
gotta see that we couldn't be there
you don't leave me now
do you love me back?

You don't leave me now do you love me back.
Love this, love all her stuff. I once dated a guy ten years my senior, an intense and meaningful fling that we both knew couldn't last. In another life, maybe it could have. Parts of this song could be me speaking, some him, but damn. Thanks Sharon.
I'm not sure if this is Sharon's own story, but I'll just tell how I feel like how it would be if she was telling from her own perspective with a male partner(for sake of simplicity).
I feel like this is a story about her being in love with another person, however he keeps seeing her without returning the same love. She's hopeful he will one day realize whatever it is that they have, and love her back genuinely - however she knows realistically it's doomed anyways, she just wants him to finally end it and she'll hopefully one day be over it.
Her(or his) mom and dad still love her, and unlike the love she receives from him, it's "True and kind".
When they are together, she's wondering why he hasn't left her yet, with lines like "You don't leave me now. Do you love me back?".
She seems to have reluctantly accepted the fact that the relationship may indeed have no future, with lines like "I don't see you back", however this hurts her, since "One day I'll be fine with that".
She is still however hopeful the other person will one day realize the love they have, and return it one day. "Don't leave me now, You might love me back."
She knows the other person must end it, since she can't. "You gotta see how we can see this out". She hopes afterwards he will realize all that they had "You'll see all the love we'll keep", and that they couldn't make it to a real relationship. "Gotta see that we couldn't be there". And she'll be fine with that.
oh wow this is so beautiful
"...I did one flub but I don't remember where." CLASSIC.
"...I did one flub but I don't remember where." CLASSIC.
I can see where people might really hate this song, with Sharon's tremolo voice on the refrain. But I absolutely love it. This song grows on you quickly.

I love this song! My friend and I have an inside joke of sorts, where whenever this song finishes playing and you hear Sharon saying, "I did one flub but I don't remember where," we both yell "SHIT SHARON, GET IT TOGETHER!" This song followed me around all summer and I still listen to it all the time. It just sticks with me.

I love the song
I think the whole thing could be about her parents, not a love interest.
I may be wrong.
I’ve never had heartache caused by my parents but I have from a love interest so when I’m singing along I’m thinking of the latter!
