Once

Even if you’re gone now and the world is ending Even if the good dream is always pretending That all might be true But we were good once At many times, yeah I stood next to you Once And we were good once and everything dies And they’re usually liars until you cry And we were good once and everything ends And most lovers pretend to be friends You burned my soul just after closing time On a Wednesday night Once Once Even if we loved and lived so many nights Even if time was spent on losing so many fights And you’re a saint only in my song And most things were only rough Sometimes we got along I still hadn't had enough Once And we were good once and everything dies And they’re usually liars until you cry And we were loyal once and we felt sane If we’d gotten married, I’d taken your last name You burned my soul just after closing time On a Wednesday night Once Once Once Someone was loyal and people felt sane If we’d had kids, I’d give ’em your last name You burned my soul, one big fluke All of my exes have stood behind you Standing right next to you Right next to you Once And we were good once…. And everything dies…. And we felt sane… What is your last name? And even thought love of my life is ending I’d be standing right next to you Right next to you Once Once Once
