Once

I once had faith in you
i once believed that somehow you'd find a way to make it through

There was a time that i held you close in my arms
and never thought id see the day you'd turn in to THIS

you've lost the charms
that you once had
and now i have only one last wish

That sometime in your future you'll think of me
and you'll regret ever pushing me so far away

if no more than once

I've tried more times than i think i should've
more times than i know you ever would've

so dont look down on me for turning away
if you think back long enough you'll see, you never did much to make me want to stay

maybe oneday you yourself will go through this same kind of hurt
and youll know how it feels to be left in the dirt

think of me often
but know that as of this moment i will never allow your words to break into my heart and hurt me ever again

you are now on your own with it all
and forgive me but i hope you got hurt in the long relentless fall

do me this favor
and put yourself where i've been

if your not sure where that is. look behind the doors you've closed and down on the floor

put yourself there, just once

only then can you see that my actions were justified
