Once
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You change in front of me
Your eyes get darker every day
It happens quietly
Your focus slowly burns away
And if you let me hear
The things you seem to wanna say
Though I am late
I will wait to go
Until I know you're somewhere safe
And even if you chose
To lock yourself away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again
You're falling into it
An inescapable release
Or something intimate
Between the you that no one sees
Is there a way inside
You only hide from enemies
Cause I'll wait
I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily
And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real
Once I had something to lose
Once I could peal
Once I was harder to bruise
Once I was here
Once I was willing to bend
Once I appear
I will be real once again
You're falling farther than
I've ever seen you fall before
For me to wonder when
I'll recognize you anymore
To see no light inside your eyes at all
To bang my head against the wall
And force myself to watch you pull away
And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost here you say
Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again
Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again
