Lyrics Once Upon a Me - Rachie

If you have a minute, come and sit a while with me
This song comes off as happy but it′s kinda sad you see...
The me in the mirror I looked at yesterday
Though she wanted to change, somehow she looks the same today

Been feelin' kind of blue, anxiety too, I′ve almost given up
Since nobody will listen to the things I have to say
It's useless anyway, so I'll bury my face in my knees

One by one the tears they start to fall, does no one care at all?
But just as I was gonna quit someone responded
"Don′t you know? No one will know what your heart holds
So c′mon open up, I'm here to listen you know?"

Heading towards tomorrow was the me of today
Waving her hands like crazy saying "See you someday!"
Behind, they′re yelling, telling me "Keep doing your best"
Although a pretty noisy chorus, I love them all to death

And so I take off running never looking behind
And as my tears reflect the evening glow
I say my bye byes, to once upon a me of now and I go...

If you have a minute, can you keep on sitting here with me?
Now that I'm feeling better I won′t cry as much you see?
Just watch my heart, a shining star, light up the sky
Hey, did I hear you right just now?

Been feelin' kind of blue? Anxiety too? Did you almost give up?
If you think that no one will listen to the things you say
I′m here for you okay?
Cause we're friends, don't ever forget!

One by one the tears they start to fall
But now they′re falling down your face
Tell me what′s been going on but know "It's gonna be okay"
Hey, now, whatever you do, don′t worry cause I'm here by your side
There′s no need to cry

Heading towards tomorrow was the you of today
Waving your hands like crazy saying "See you someday!"
Behind, they're yelling, telling you "Keep doing your best"
Although a pretty noisy chorus, don′t you love them to death?

And as you take off running, I could see it inside
A heart that shines just like the evening glow
So say your bye byes, to once upon a you of now and then go!

Could you listen to me one last time before you leave?
Back then the smallest thing could make me burst into tears
But you, and you, were all there to
Support me so I guess it's time I do that too

Was feelin' kind of blue, anxiety too, I′d almost given up
But you′d pick me back up, and listen to the things I say
And come by every day
Now to you, I want to do the same!

One by one the tears are falling down
And in the sea they make you splash and flail around
But there's no way that I would let you drown!
Casting a lifeline with rhythm and rhyme
Telling you it′s alright, I hope I made it in time...

Heading towards tomorrow with my hand here in yours
Excited for tomorrow and what it has in store
And from behind, they hug me, like they do everyday
Followed by a noisy chorus I'll keep loving the same

And we can′t help but cry and give each other a smile
That shined much brighter than the evening glow
So I say bye bye, to once upon a me of now and I go
