Once Upon a Time

(I made up my mind, mind)

Drinks in the evening
Lights on the ceiling
Night's not appealing
Once upon a time I made up my mind
Sat in the corner
Weight on my shoulders
Feel a bit colder
Once upon a time I thought I was kind

I was sheltered beyond your reach
I was captured, the guard was me
Ain't no practising what I preach
Can't just let me be so

I tried to run but cat caught my tongue, yeah
I tried to leave but
Who is staring at me?
Once upon a time I made up my mind
Free at last but stuck in the past, yeah
I tried to be but
Who is staring back at me?
Once upon a time

Walk down hallways
Stand down always
Stare down parades
Once upon a time I wasted mine
Number one killjoy
Number two decoy
Closeted tomboy
Once upon a time I wanted a sign

That there was something I could reach and
Something special inside of me
Ain't no practising what I preach
Can't just let me be so

I tried to run but cat caught my tongue, yeah
I tried to leave but
Who is staring at me?
Once upon a time I made up my mind
Free at last but stuck in the past, yeah
I tried to be but
Who is staring back at me?
Once upon a time
I was

I was
Yeah I was
Yeah I was what?
(Was what, was what)
Was what, yeah I was
(Yeah, I was mine)

I tried to run but cat caught my tongue, yeah
I tried to leave but
Who is staring at me?
Once upon a time I made up my mind
Free at last but stuck in the past, yeah
I tried to be but
Who is staring back at me?
Once upon a time
Yeah I was mine
Yeah I was mine
Once upon a time
Yeah I was mine
