Once upon a time

A young man got up to play

So many things

The young man wanted to say



It used to be so special

I used to be so proud

I used to be so lonely

I'm so much lonelier now



Once upon a time

A young man got up to play

So many things

The young man wanted to say



He didn't care who listened

And what he had to pay

Somehow he made the wrong move

And made it go away



Chorus



It's the same old story

A young man on the run

He maybe sorry

But the damage has been done

Makin' the same mistakes too many times

He thought it would be ok

Looking inside only to find

The spirit had gone away



Chorus



I'm lonelier now

I'm lonelier now

I'm lonelier now

I'm lonelier now
