Once

Should have been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone a little less twisted around
Should have been much better, you'd think but I'm not
I'm still stuck, I'm still here in this rut

Looking back on everything that we had
Holding on to words that we can't take back
What am I to do with the past
When it's all that I have, and I can't get you back

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so low, and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go, I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done, and all the love that we shared
Once, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, once

I remember you sayin' I was the one
And nothing could change that, but you were wrong
It's funny how life turns on a dime
Now we don't even talk, I just stare at these walls

And I wait by the phone in the dark, drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so low, and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go, I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done, and all the love that we shared

Once, you made the world feel so right
Once, you were my morning, noon, and night
Why'd we slip away? (Slip away)
Why did it all change? How will I ever be the same?

Now I wait by the phone in the dark, drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so low, and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go, I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done, and all the love that we shared

Now I wait by the phone in the dark, drunk on hope (oh, by the phone, baby)
I'm so lost, I'm so low, and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go, I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done, and all the love that we shared

Should have been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone, a little less twisted around
