“the 1” facilities across the nostalgic remembrance of myths and misplaced loves. The narrator contemplates an alternate life through which her previous needs had “come true” and resulted in life with an ex-lover. The strains:

I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today?

references the identical hesitation to ask one thing of an outdated flame as “I Almost Do” in 2012’s Red, where she sings:

It takes everything in me not to call you.

The distinction is that by now, the acute ache has a light and all that’s left is the questioning of what might need been.

The 1 Song English Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit
Been saying "yes" instead of "no"
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though
I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée
You know the greatest films of all time were never made

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you never know, never know
And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow
And it's alright now

[Chorus]

But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
(Ooh)

[Verse 2]

I have this dream you're doing cool shit
Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
We never painted by the numbers, baby
But we were making it count
You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you never know, never know
And it's another day waking up alone

[Chorus]

But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one

[Bridge]

I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today?

[Chorus]

We were something, don't you think so?
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it would've been sweet
If it could've been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
(Ooh)
