Once

Rascal Flatts · Unstoppable [2009]

Shoulda been much further then this by now

A little bit more gone a little less twisted around

Shoulda been much better you'd think but I'm not, I'm still stuck,

I'm still here, in this rut



Looking back on everything that we had

Holding on to words that we can't take back

What am I to do with the past, when it's all that I have,

and I can't get you back



CHORUS

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope

I'm so lost, I'm so alone, and I just want you to know

Everywhere that I go, I'm reminded of us

Where we've been, all we've done, and all the love that we shared

Once, oh oh oh oh oh once



I remember you sayin' I was the one, and nothing could change

that but you were wrong

It's funny how life turns on a dime now we don't even talk

I just stare at these walls



And I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope

I'm so lost, I'm so alone, and I just want you to know

Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us

Where we've been all we've done and all the love that we shared

Once, you made the world feel so right

Once, you were my morning noon and night

Why'd we slip away, why did it all change, how will I ever be the same



Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope

I'm so lost I'm so alone, and I just want you to know

Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us

Where we've been all we've done and all the love that we shared



Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope

I'm so lost I'm so alone and I just want you to know

Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us

Where we've been all we've done and all the love that we shared



Shoulda been much further then this by now

A little bit more gone a little less twisted around
