(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
