what once was

i guess i knew this would happen to you

inside i did

but i refuse to know the truth

i'm heading back inside to sit at home with you

think i know what's wrong

my friends put on their bravest face

their tales 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

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
