Once Upon a Time
They first met back in '98
It was a story filled with cliche
Childhood friends all grown up
Girl falls for boy; he doesn't feel that way
The friendship gets ruined
Like a boring, predictable script for a play
Once upon a time they say
Well it's all a big lie
It never really happens that way
When you're living in real life
Six months later, it's four AM
Her phone comes to life
She can't believe her eyes; it's him
Memories flood of heartache and strife
She answers, "Is everything alright?"
He simply cries, "He's dead, there's a knife."
The voice wasn't his
"I'm so sorry" he replied
She did the only thing she could
She laid down and cried
Once upon a time they say
Well it's all a big lie
It never really happens that way
When you're living in real life
"He was a great guy, one who deserved more"
Those words gave her pause at his wake
She thinks back to 1998
When they first met by the lake
He said "Hey, I'm Luke, wanna play?"
She left flowers by his plot for old time's sake
Once upon a time they say
Well it's all a big lie
It never really happens that way
When you're living in real life
Once upon a time
Yeah, it's all one big lie
No, it never truly goes that way
When you're living in real life
