Just Once

Just once I wish I could have someone
that would hold me when I cry
that wouldn’t laugh or make stupid jokes
if they knew the reason why

Just once I would like to be somewhere
and know that when I turned around
people wouldn’t be spreading lies
that there would be no whispering sounds

Just once I felt like telling the truth
that you were being such a jerk
but I know I’ve done much worse to you
and now I know how much that hurts

Just once I want someone to tell me
a fairy tale that’s not made up
of two people that went through hell together
and ended up in love

Just once I need to hear you say
that you still and always will love me
that gives me hope for another day
then you can go back to being free
