It's the hour of ghosts 
I'm the soul survivor 
You keep pushing me 
To pull another all-nighter 
Watching on these walls 
Memory silhouettes 
All the tender times 
All the old regrets 

And I wish I could take back our last goodbye 
Knowing what I know now about foolish pride 
I'd hold you in my loving arms 
And say I love you so 
And I wouldn't start this story 
Once upon a fool ago 

It's the same routine 
Ever since you've gone 
You creep into my dreams 
Won't leave me alone 
So I haunt these halls 
And I rattle my chains 
And I moan about 
What I can't change 

And I wish I could take back our last goodbye 
Knowing what I know now about foolish pride 
I'd hold you in my loving arms 
And say I love you so 
And I wouldn't start this story 
Once upon a fool ago 

It's the hour of the ghosts 
I'm the soul survivor 
You keep pushing me 
To pull another all-nighter 

And I wish I could take back our last goodbye 
Knowing what I know now about foolish pride 
I'd hold you in my loving arms 
And say I love you so 
And I wouldn't start this story 
Once upon a fool ago 

No, I wouldn't start this story 
Once upon a fool ago.
