Once Upon A Time
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.
Once upon a time, the chemistry was cool
I had a little place, just a space standing next to you
When you lost your mind, did you realize or wonder why
When you go insane, you're to blame, now I gotta fly
Underhanded, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time
Once upon a time
That was once upon a time
Once upon a time
You never told me that you had a little dark spot on your heart
You threw me a bone, left me alone and then ripped me apart
Now you're the one, come undone, the tables turned around
Where do you go, so low, I think you're going under the ground
Underhanded, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time
Once upon a time
That was once upon a time
Once upon a time
Now it's time to take a stand
Take it back in my hands
I'm only doing what I can
Why should I give a damn?
Now it's going down, I dropped the other shoe
You know it's been said, your thick head, it all comes back to you
It seems you're the one come undone, the world has turned around
Original sin is doing you in, an now I..
Undertand it, how you planned it was the perfect crime
That was once upon a time
Once upon a time
That was once upon a time
Once upon a time
