Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time
I was happy long ago
When I trace my face
Could you see my smile fold
When did I get so drained

Of this life that we claimed
Have the skies always been this grey
Our story fades to black & white
As I fight day & night

Clambering to make this right
And I know
You're the worst part of me
Filled with dread

And I can't get it out
What you said
I never wanted to leave
But your actions

Keep on cutting my sleeves
Hold me close
I can rest when I
Dance with the dead

Half alive but it's
All in my head
I pray I'll wake up and see
That all of this was just another

Bad dream, oh no no
But there's no happy ever after
When you tore my heart
Did you feel it bleed for you

I guess one thousand one
Never turned out to be true
Oh why do I
Think about you all the time

You're always running my mind
Oh I'd like to
Forget you, never meant to
'Cause I'm no fool

And I know
You're the worst part of me
Filled with dread
And I can't get it out
What you said

I never wanted to leave
But your actions
Keep on cutting my sleeves
Hold me close

I can rest when I
Dance with the dead
Half alive but it's
All in my head

I pray I'll wake up and see
That all of this was just another
Bad dream, oh no no
But there's no happy ever after

No nobody
No nobody
No nobody
Hurts me like, hurts me like you do
No I won't no I won't (no nobody)

No I won't no I won't (no nobody)
Let you go
No nobody
Hurts me like, hurts me like you do
