Once Upon a Time
So you say you’ve got to go.
Surprises like this always hurt.
I thought we’d have more time to build a life together.
Surprises like this are the worst.
I thought we’d made it through the cold.
I thought the Spring had finally come.
I thought we’d found a way to mend our tears and tatters.
Surprises like this are so dumb.
Once upon a time we’d smile and make it better.
Once upon a time there was twinkle in your eye.
Once upon a time we made it through together.
Things were beautiful, once upon a time.
Seven years flash in a blink.
Seven years fly by so fast.
Seven years is such a long long time, dear.
Why does nothing ever last?
Once upon a time we’d both collapse from laughter.
Once upon a time we’d dance right through the storms.
Once upon a time we’d hold on to each other.
Things were beautiful, once upon a time.
You need a change?
Change is good they tell me.
But what about this searing pain?
What about the way things used to be?
So you say it’s time to leave.
You say that nothing can be done.
You say that what I say really doesn’t matter.
Surprises like this are no fun.
Once upon a time we’d smile and make it better.
Once upon a time there was twinkle in your eye.
Once upon a time we made it through together.
Things were beautiful, once upon a time.
Once upon a time we’d both collapse from laughter.
Once upon a time we’d dance right through the storms.
Once upon a time we’d hold on to each other.
Things were beautiful, once upon a time.

You Never Knew
Where am I going? What do I do?
I figured by now I’d be coupled with you.
You’re so far away. Half a world…so far away.
I sit home alone. I drive day by day.
I look for a path. I’ve got demons to slay.
You’re so far away. Half a lifetime…so far away.
Build for tomorrow. Live for today.
Follow your bliss. Time will take it away.
And you never knew how I felt about you.
Memories linger. Fires still burn.
We're living our lives. The world always turns.
We’re so far away. Why in heaven are we so far away?
Learn from the sadness. Celebrate joy.
Days turn to decades. We build and destroy.
And you never knew how I felt about you.
We all have our dreams, so real, so true.
We can’t let them slip. We’ve got to follow them through.
They’re so far away. Take the plunge? You’re so far away.
Build for tomorrow. Live for today.
Follow your bliss. Time will take it away.
And you never knew how I felt about you.
Learn from the sadness. Celebrate joy.
Days turn to decades. We build and destroy.
And you never knew how I felt about you.
You never knew how hard I fell for you.
You never knew how I felt about you.
