Once upon a time A young man got up to play So many things The young man wanted to say It used to be so special I used to be so proud I used to be so lonely I'm so much lonelier now Once upon a time A young man got up to play So many things The young man wanted to say He didn't care who listened And what he had to pay Somehow he made the wrong move And made it go away Chorus It's the same old story A young man on the run He maybe sorry But the damage has been done Makin' the same mistakes too many times He thought it would be ok Looking inside only to find The spirit had gone away Chorus I'm lonelier now I'm lonelier now I'm lonelier now I'm lonelier now
