"You're Not the One" is about a person's realization that their current romantic partner is not the right match for them. In the verses, the singer describes how they have been dreaming about this person and how they've shared many experiences with them. However, through the pre-chorus, it becomes clear that the singer's feelings are not reciprocated and their partner wants someone else.
The chorus of the song directly addresses the partner, stating "You're not the one", suggesting that despite their history and the singer's desire to be with them, this person simply isn't the right fit for them. The lyrics in the bridge suggest that the singer has come to terms with the fact that the relationship isn't working and is willing to let go without a fight.
Overall, the song appears to be about the challenge of moving on from a relationship where one partner has significantly stronger feelings than the other. It's a bittersweet acknowledgement that sometimes, no matter how much someone wants something to work out, it's simply not meant to be.
