Once Upon a Time Verse 1 Faded photos on a dusty shelf A younger picture of my former self We drew our dreams across the midnight sky Never thinking that we'd say goodbye The clock keeps ticking on the hallway wall Echoes lingering down an empty hall Chorus Once upon a time, we held the world in our hands Building castles out of golden sands We were wild, we were free, writing history Before the shadows took the light away Once upon a time feels so far today Verse 2 Tracing footsteps on a frozen street Remembering where our paths used to meet A box of letters bound in velvet red All the quiet words we left unsaid The winter wind carries a familiar strain A gentle whisper of the sweetest pain Chorus Once upon a time, we held the world in our hands Building castles out of golden sands We were wild, we were free, writing history Before the shadows took the light away Once upon a time feels so far today Bridge And maybe fairy tales don't always end With a crown to wear or a heart to mend But every single line we got to write Is still a spark inside the darkest night We were real, we were true, even if we're through Chorus Once upon a time, we held the world in our hands Building castles out of golden sands We were wild, we were free, writing history Before the shadows took the light away Once upon a time feels so far today Outro So far today... Turn the page and let the story fade Remember every promise that we made Just once upon a time...
