once I believed that you were
twice the size of me and
twice you proceeded to
let me believe that
once all the smoke had cleared
and the room was still
twice, we'd be together then
we'd be together still

once
that was once
not now

once upon a little lie that
gave into an ocean
twice the size of your pacific
smiles of devotion
one for the money
two for your show
three to get ready
for how you let them go

what was I thinking
where did my head go
because is not a reason
just 'cause you say so
how will you see it
when the time comes
why won't you believe it
you just run - you just run

but that was
once
not now
not now

once
not now
not now
