Towards the light, at the end of the tunnel
There are practically no female voices in Pakistan’s Rock music scene and it’s in dire need of new talent in that area and Dilara couldn’t have picked a better time to show up.
A commercial writer by profession, she claims music to have always been her first true love. She fell in love with it when she was 8 years old, when she remembers her sisters listening to popular music of that time. But her interest in Rock music developed much later.
Dilara finally got her break when she came to know members of a renowned band AaroH of Pakistan . A good friend and also the producer of her first single, Kamran is the one she gives the credit to for making her dream come true.
The lyrics and
composition give "You’re the one" a dejected feel. It starts off
with an eerie, crooning voice and the words expresses regret of making mistakes
and the wasted attempts to correct them and the anger and pain of a woman
weathered and torn is unleashed in the chorus. This song is Dilara’s first
attempt at song writing though she does have some more coming soon.

You’re the one
Lyrics
I tried to tell the truth
But you just wouldn’t listen
I tried to reason with you
But you wouldn’t understand
I tried to be with you
You just don’t know how much I cried
I tried to give you up
But my heart just wouldn’t let you go
Music
I tried to make it right
But you just won't give up the fight
I tried to make you see
But you didn't wanna be with me
I tried to let you know
What your love really meant to me
I tried to put it past
But your haunting love just wouldn’t last
Chorus
You lied, you cheated
And you’re the one who created
The rumor, the blather
But nothin' else matters
I love you
I miss you
You're the only one
I wanna be with you
I need you
I want you
You're the only one
I wanna be with you
I tried to kill my pain
But you took my mind over again
I tried to forget the days
But your memory just won’t fade away
I wanted to let it go
You just donno how much I tried
I tried to end it all
But it all just starts over again
Music
Chorus
You lied, you cheated
And you’re the one who created
The rumor, the blather
But nothin' else matters
I love you
I miss you
You're the only one
I wanna be with you
I need you
I want you
You're the only one
I wanna be with you
I tried to tell the truth
But you just wouldn’t listen
I tried to reason with you
But you wouldn’t understand
I tried to be with you
You just don’t know how much I cried
I tried to give you up
But my heart just wouldn’t let you go
I tried to make it right
But you just won't give up the fight
I tried to make you see
But you didn't wanna be with me
I tried to let you know
What your love really meant to me
I tried to put it past
But your haunting love just wouldn’t last
I tried to kill my pain
But you took my mind over again
I tried to forget the days
But your memory just won’t fade away
I wanted to let it go
You just donno how much I tried
I tried to end it all
But it all just starts over again.
