Once upon a time 

when you were there 

I was not around

Once upon a time 

when you were here 

I could not be found

Now that you are gone 

I wonder why 

I was unaware

Now that you are gone 

I realize 

just how much I care

Reminiscing now 

of days gone by 

you were in my life

Living in the past 

can't bring you back 

and it causes strife

Days turn into weeks and months and years

Missing you so much can't hide the tears

Lots of broken glass from shattered dreams

on the cutting edge of many schemes

tearing me apart in silent screams

I don't wanna feel this way

I don't know what else to say

Should I hold it all in

and pretend that I win

Should I let it all out

lots of room for doubt

I already said more than I should

it doesn't seem to do me any good

Once upon a time 

when you were gone 

I was still around

Once upon a time 

when you were gone 

I could still be found

Painfully aware 

just how much I care 

but it goes nowhere

Painfully aware 

how much I care

now that you are gone

I'm still around

now that you are gone

I can be found

going nowhere

going nowhere

going nowhere
