[Verse 1]
Maybe the sky isn't falling
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe the world isn't dangling off the edge
But the feeling's the same
In fact it feels like a trap
Set by someone who wants for my heart to collapse
So can we take a moment and stop?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one who falls for you

[Verse 2]
Maybe the world isn't ending
Maybe it's been postponed
I've got a feeling it's happening all on its own
They say that love's contagious
But I don't know about that
'Cause broken hearts are the easiest part to give back
So can we take a moment and stop?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one who falls for you
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one who falls for you

[Bridge]
The clock is out
The timer's up and I've got nowhere to go
Take my pride, take my friends
Just don't take my heart
I don't think I can take it
Another heart breaking
Another whole world crumbling in two
I'm sick of the endings and I'm sick of beginnings
Of anyone who stumbles into view

[Intro to Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
'Cause I don't want to be the one, who falls for you

'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
(I don't want to be the one)
'Cause I don't want to be the one, be the one
(I don't want to be the one)
'Cause I don't want to be the one, who falls for you
