I know you see me, I know you're there;
You fought my battle I asked you,
One two three and say 'I don't care'.
You've done well, you ran my race,
But you didn't win this war,
My tears started to swell; you only came in second place.
This isn't what I want; it’s what I wanted,
Chances were given, sorry I failed.
I took the time to learn less about us and more about me:
We are now unforgotten, unexplained, and unveiled.
I left for the better, and I fell into a different trance;
My mind was filled with tomorrow,
But I'm beginning to hate romance...
"Please try to be patient
And know that I'm still learning.
I'm sorry that you have to see
The strength inside me burning.
And I'm letting myself down by satisfying you;
And I wish that you could see
That I have my troubles too."
You know what you're doing, you know I can't care;
But there's this one thing...you’re always still there.
Hate is a strong word, but love is stronger;
I can't stand you haunting me any longer.
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew:
Everything was ours, how happy we were then,
But somehow "Once Upon A Time" never comes again.
