Once Lyrics by Rookie

2017

[Chorus]
Once I was your gun, I was ready to fire
Once I was your love, I was your only desire
Once I was your boss, I took all the power
You hurt enough, and it all turns sour
[Verse 1]
Could you please settle down, we've got a lot to be getting on with
By the time we've finished, we'd have claimed the whole hall
I'm tripping over my feet, I'm sure as hell not going to untie them
Please say something because the silence is making me feel constrained
[Verse 2]
Complain about my lack of motive, but do you remember I said the most?
You need to keep it so I guess that's why you put him, at the top
[Verse 3]
Could you please settle down, I swear we're gonna wreck the system
I needed this, I needed this, I know I can finally admit it
I heard that those guys, that they always seem to get the feeling
That this has been one frame too far from me
[Chorus]
Once I was your gun, I was ready to fire
Once I was your love, your only desire
Once I was your boss, I took all the power
You hurt enough, and it all turns sour
[Backing + Chorus]
(Woah-oh)
