[Verse 1: Liam & Louis]
Hello, hello, I know it's been a while, but baby
I got something that I really want to let you know, yeah
Something that I want to let you know, oh, oh
You say, you say to everybody that you hate me
Couldn't blame you 'cause I know I left you all alone, yeah
I know that I left you all alone

[Pre-Chorus: Harry]
Yeah, now I'm back at your door
You're looking at me unsure
I should've seen it before
You're all I think about, baby

[Chorus: All]
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I know you're still the one
You might have moved on, but girl, you should know
That I know you're still the one
I know it's saying too much but I will never give up
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I know you're still the one
I know you're still the one

[Verse 2: Niall with Harry]
Hello, hello, I'm really hoping you'll forgive me
I keep talking, begging, tell me what I wanna hear, yeah
Girl, just tell me what I wanna hear
I tried, I'll try to start again and find somebody
But I remember all the times and all the words we said, yeah
I can't get it out of my head, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Zayn]
Now I'm back at your door
You're looking at me unsure
I should've seen it before
You're all I think about, baby

[Chorus: All]
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I know you're still the one
You might have moved on, but girl, you should know
That I know you're still the one
I know it's saying too much but I will never give up
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I know you're still the one
I know you're still the one

[Bridge: Harry]
Hey you, you're still the one
Hey you, you're still the one
Hey you, you're still the one
Hey you, you're still the one

[Outro: All]
I know I'm saying too much, yeah
But I will never give up (C’mon)
I was so stupid for letting you go
But I know you're still the one
I know you're still the one

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
