Once Upon A Time Lyrics by Will Brennan

Prodigal Son

2012

Intro: As you walk away, I do better...
(Verse 1)
The truth is that I still need you girl
Life without you ain't going right
Caught up in all the wrong things
Trying to fill the gaps on these lonely nights
And I miss you girl
No shame just deep regrets
If its too late to apologize
Then you don't have to accept
But look me in the eye next time you tell me you don't want me to stay
I don't wanna say goodbye no more so I can't let you just walk away
And I won't promise I won't ever leave more tears on your face
You might get hurt sometimes but nobody said love would be safe
So if I'm wrong, then I'll be that
But don't say I don't love you
We played a losing game
Girl you knew this would be trouble
(Elea Palmer)
I know what I could be
But you don't love me
You love my potential
Maybe we shouldn't be
Now that you're gone
How did I let you
Drag me along
Pathetic, I bet you
Thinking I'm wrong
Mentally messed up
And it's all because of you
(one upon a time, we were once upon a time) loop 4x
Fa la
Fall in love
Just to fall out of love (repeat 4x)
Verse 2 (Elea Palmer)
I draw the line here
All this stops today
You don't care how I feel
I can't go on this way
How can you just be okay
How can you just how can you just be okay
Knowing that you're hurting me?
Every time you come my way
(Chorus)
I know what I could be
But you don't love me
You love my potential
Maybe we shouldn't be
Now that you're gone
How did I let you
Drag me Along
Pathetic, I bet you
Thinking I'm wrong
Mentally messed up
And it's all because of you
(Will background)
I know what we could be
Bad as things may seem
I see our potential
Maybe you shouldn't leave
Verse 3 (Will Brennan)
If you don't wanna stay then cool
I'll do me and you do you!
But I don't really want that girl
And let's be honest, neither do you
Let's be honest, you love me just as bad as I want you to love me too
I'll be honest, I can't let go cuz I'm feeling all the pain that I put you through
And it hurts me girl (hurts me girl)
All the fighting and the arguing
And the feelings that we keep harboring
Just victims of our pride
And it hurts me girl (hurts me girl)
All alone inside this apartment
Trying to tell myself not to call again
Gotta keep my feelings inside
That player stuff don't work with love
The same rules don't apply
We win and lose together girl
There ain't no you and I
There's only us
And I think that deserves another try
So you can tell me anything
Girl just don't say goodbye
(Elea Palmer)
Oh now that you're gone
How did I let you drag me along
