Once upon a time,
Not so long ago
He told me that he loved me
And would never let me go

That story with a happy ending
Took a different turn
I thought that I could trust him but
I guess that’s how you learn

Once upon a time,
Standing by that tree
He told me that no words could say
How he felt for me

Next time that I hear those words,
I’m ending it right there
No stupid little kisses
No playing with my hair

Don’t tell me that you love me
Don’t lie right to my face
Cause once upon a time
He was standing in your place.

&quot;I realize that life is risks. It&#039;s acknowledging the past but looking forward. It&#039;s taking chances that we will make mistakes but believeing we all deserve to be forgiven.&quot; <br /> -The Dead Tossed Waves.
