(Once in a lifetime)
(Once in a lifetime)
I wanna drink
Wanna think
Write a song about it
I wanna smoke
Make a joke
Try to hide the damage
I wanna drive this car
Right over the edge
Of every bad idea
I didn't have yet
I look at you
Look at me
Feeling kinda tragic
Dazed and confused
Hard to see
Where we lost the magic
I never meant to be hypocritical
This fucking crazy ride's left me cynical
Just like that
I know there's no turning back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast
And kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Till I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime
I try to run
Try to hide
Just forget about it
I tell myself
Every night
I could live without it
I wanna say good-bye to the loneliness
But every time I do, I make another mess
Just like that
I know there's no looking back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast
And kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Till I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
Just like that
I know there's no turning back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast
And kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Till I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
(I hope a heart only breaks this bad)
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
