Once Lyrics

Rascal Flatts Once

Songwriters: Dioguardi, Kara; Shanks, John; Steele, Jeffrey;

Should've been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone a little less twisted around
Should've been much better you'd think
But I'm not, I'm still stuck, I'm still here in this rut

Looking back on everything that we had
Holding on to words that we can't take back
What am I to do with the past
When it's all that I have and I can't get you back

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared
Once, oh, once

I remember you sayin' I was the one
And nothing could change that but you were wrong
It's funny how life turns on a dime
Now we don't even talk, I just stare at these walls

And I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared

Once, you made the world feel so right
Once, you were my morning, noon and night
Why'd we slip away? Why did it all change?
How will I ever be the same?

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and the love that we shared

Now I wait by the phone in the dark drunk on hope
I'm so lost, I'm so alone and I just want you to know
Everywhere that I go I'm reminded of us
Where we've been, all we've done and all the love that we shared

Should've been much further then this by now
A little bit more gone, a little less twisted around
