Discover the story of the song > One – Warren Haynes

The lyrics are about a complicated relationship between the protagonist and his partner. He questions if things are getting better or if they remain the same. He feels blamed for their problems and wonders if having someone to blame makes it easier for her. The protagonist says they are one, but not the same, and they hurt each other but continue to do it again. He also feels like love is supposed to be a temple, but it feels like a higher law that he can't fully enter into because she makes him crawl. In the end, he realizes that holding onto the hurt she has caused him is not worth it because it's all he has.
