Caleb Kane Once
You change in front of me
Your eyes get darker everyday
It happens quietly
Your focus slowly burns away
And if you let me hear
The things you seem to wanna say
Though I am late
I will wait to go until I know your somewhere safe
And even if you chose
To lock yourself away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again
You're falling into it
An inescapable release
Or something intimate
Between the you that no one sees
Is there a way inside
You only hide from enemies
Cause I'll wait
I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily
And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real
Once I had something to lose
Once I could deal
Once I was harder to bruise
Once I was here (Once I)
Once I was willing to bend
Once I appear (Once I)
I will be real once again
You're falling than
I've ever seen you fall before
For me to wonder when
I'll recognize you anymore
To see no light inside your eyes at all
To bang my head against the wall
To force myself to watch you pull away
And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say
Once I was real (Once I)
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel (Once I)
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here (Once I)
Once I was somebody friend
Once I appear (Once I)
I will be real once again
Once I was real (Once I)
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel (Once I)
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here (Once I)
Once I was somebody friend
Once I appear (Once I)
I will be real once again
