What Once Was
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.
I guess I knew this would happen to you
Inside I did, but I refused to know the truth
I'm heading back inside to sit at home with you
I think I know what's wrong
My friends put on their bravest face
Their tails between their legs
Something's out of place
I bet their mothers let them know
What I'm about to face
Keep your mouth zipped, son
Baby I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hanging on
I was at the end of every tether waiting
For what once was
Tell me all the important stuff
What's your favorite color
What makes you so tough?
Please don't let go when you've had enough
I'm on my knees
Baby I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hanging on
I was at the end of every tether waiting
For what once was
Waiting for my love
Waiting for
