Once

You change in front of meYour eyes get darker every dayIt happens quietlyYour focus slowly burns awayAnd if you let me hearThe things you seem to wanna sayI will wait to goUntil I know you're somewhere safeAnd even if you choseTo lock yourself awayIf I listen closeI can almost hear you sayOnce I was realOnce I was somebody's childOnce I could feelSome feeling once in a whileOnce I was hereOnce I was somebody's friendOnce I appearI will be real once againYou're falling into itAn inescapable placeOr something intimateBetween the you that no one seesIs there a way insideYou only hide from enemiesCause I'll waitI'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easilyAnd even if you choseTo lock the world awayIf I listen closeI can almost hear you sayOnce I was realOnce I had something to loseOnce I could feelOnce I was harder to bruiseOnce I was hereOnce I was willing to mendOnce I appearI will be real once againYou're falling farther thanI've ever seen you fall beforeFor me to wonder whenI'll recognize you anymoreTo see no light inside your eyes at allTo bang my head against the wallAnd force myself to watch you fall awayAnd even if you choseTo lock the world awayIf I listen closeI can almost here you sayOnce I was realOnce I was somebody's childOnce I could feelSome feeling once in a whileOnce I was hereOnce I was somebody's friendOnce I appearI will be real once againOnce I was realOnce I was somebody's childOnce I could feelSome feeling once in a whileOnce I was hereOnce I was somebody's friendOnce I appearI will be real once again
