Alexander - Once

[Intro]
      

[Verse]
                                     
Once there was more than just a spark of light
                       
There was a fire, burning bright
                                   
Once we were more than empty shells in the wind

Once...

[Instrumental]
    

[Chorus]
                       
But I didn t know you were hurting
               
Didn t know we were broken
                
I didn t know we were dying
                        
There s no CPR that can save us now
                          
More than seven minutes have gone by
           
No one can save us now

[Instrumental]
  

[Verse]
                                      
When I first met you, I was spellbound by your laughter
                                    
When I first met you, you were uptight and nervous
                                  
You didn t know how to act or what to talk about
                                   
When I first met you, your eyes shined with life

[Bridge]
                                    
Now they re shrouded by all the pain hidden away
                                     
Now I know that the light that was can never be

[Chorus]
                       
But I didn t know you were hurting
               
Didn t know we were broken
                
I didn t know we were dying
                        
There s no CPR that can save us now
                          
More than seven minutes have gone by
           
No one can save us now
