I'm Not The Only One Lyrics


You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in a way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you...

    You have to remember that Sam is gay, so this song is most likely about him knowing that his partner was cheating on him (the cheater not aware he knows), but he (Sam) still welcomes him in because he still loves him

    Well I think this can go two ways. Think about like this. If there was only audio and no video, who is the song really geared to???. Well personally to me this can mean the man or the woman is cheating. Think about it...

    He is in love with a guy and he cheated on his wife to be with him. He is scared to tell her but want to. He is in love with a man

    The wife knows he's cheating and although it kills her inside, she will not confront him about it. At the end of the day, she welcomes him home with opened arms.. FOR BETTER OR FOR WORST!

    If you really love your wife and you are genuinely sorry for being unfaithful and you really want to be with her instead of being with the other woman. It's possible that your wife will forgive you and you guys can save your marriage. I think it's not too late. Remember that marriage is not a joke and it's not only a contract but a commitment to each other. A commitment and a vow to God, if you guys believe in a Supreme Being. To love is to be faithful and loyal to your spouse. Fidelity is essential. Communication, Trust, Respect, and Unconditional love will make your marriage work. But! Unconditional love does not mean that a spouse will be unfaithful to his or her spouse. Hopefully, you guys can solve your issues together. Have a heart to heart talk.

    Unfortunately I'm the guy in this scenario. And I see it in the song what she felt... I only hope it is not too late...

    There is a housewife, in a time period that resembles the 40's or 30's. She is a housewife, therefore she found herself dependant her partner, despite the nagging suspicion that he is cheating on her (Which turned out to be right) . She then resorted to alcoholism, her husband was constantly leaving and a scene of her destroying his property represented anger and sadness, and the husband wasn't home which represents that he doesn't know.

    the woman was cheated on by her husband, but she still loves him even through all the things he put her through, so she still stays with him anyways and pretends that she's ok.

    A person married someone but was cheated on but the cheater doesn't know that the non-cheater knows he was cheating. If that makes any sense.

    This is a song about a woma, who has had her doubts about his partner. Come to find out? She was right. But no matter how hard she tries to say goodbye, she loves him.

    "You and me, we made a vow
    For better or for worse
    I can't believe you let me down
    But the proof's in the way it hurts"
    They've married and made a vow to not be unfaithful but it's clear he knows she's cheating.

    "For months on end I've had my doubts
    Denying every tear
    I wish this would be over now
    But I know that I still need you here"
    Even though he knows she's cheating, he constantly makes excuses for her, and he still loves her and wants to be with her

    "You say I'm crazy
    'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
    But when you call me baby
    I know I'm not the only one"
    She says he are crazy for thinking that she is unfaithful

    "You've been so unavailable
    Now sadly I know why
    Your heart is unobtainable
    Even though Lord knows you kept mine"
    She hasn't been showing any love to him or accepting love from him but he has shown love.

    "I have loved you for many years
    Maybe I am just not enough
    You've made me realize my deepest fear
    By lying and tearing us up"
    He has accepted that fact that she cheated because of her lies and pushing him away.
