I sang this song for a talent show at my high school. You can search for 'jalyn and josh only one' on youtube. It is such a powerful and expressive, beautiful song. This song took my singing to an entirely new level, full of emotion. To me, it was about a guy making a mistake in a relationship, (nothing specific) and he knows he cant fix it, and hes really upset because he very much valued the relationship, adn she is the only one for him. However he knows she can do better, so he knows he has to set her free and let her find someone who wont let her down. A really powerful part for me is "Here i go so dishonestly" {he doesnt want to leave but he knows he has to} "and i know you can see right through me" {she kindof sees that he cant be the one she deserves} "so let me go, and you will find someone" {lets end this. so you can find someone better}

Yeah so its really sad. I could relate. Sometimes you feel like youre holding back the one you love. Its a terrible feeling. This song is so powerful and i love it.
