Once

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, there was a girl
With a one of a kind, wildflower heart
Once she thought that I was the kind
Of a man that wouldn't take it just to tear it apart

[Pre-Chorus]
I had it in my hands
I had it in my hands

[Chorus]
She had nothing but faith in her eyes, in her eyes
All my little imperfections, let 'em slide, let 'em slide
Trust can't be unbroken, what's done can't be undone
There's just some mistakes a man can only make once

[Verse 2]
There was a time when she and I
Were sitting on top of our own world
It took one too many drinks, too little thought
Too late to make it right with a once in a lifetime girl

[Pre-Chorus]
I had her in my hands
I'll never get her back again

[Chorus]
She had nothing but faith in her eyes, in her eyes
All my little imperfections, let 'em slide, let 'em slide
Trust can't be unbroken, what's done can't be undone
There's just some mistakes a man can only make once

[Post-Chorus]
Once

[Bridge]
I had her in my hands
Once
I'll never get her back again

[Chorus]
She had nothing but faith in her eyes, in her eyes
All my little imperfections, let 'em slide, let 'em slide
Trust can't be unbroken, what's done can't be undone
There's just some mistakes a man can only make once

[Post-Chorus]
Once

[Outro]
Yeah, hey, hey, once
Once upon a time, there was a girl
