Once Upon a Time
Echoes of Love Lost: Nostalgic Reflections on a Once Upon a Time
Lyrics
I'm still mad at you
I still harbor resentment towards you.
And it's in the air
There is a lingering sense of tension or unresolved emotions.
But that doesn't mean
Despite the tension, it doesn't imply a lack of care.
That I don't still care about you
I still have feelings for you.
And I'm thinking bout you now from the other side of town
I'm currently contemplating you, being physically distant.
How are things
How are you doing?
Hope you're doing well
I hope things are going well for you.
I'm a little drunk
I've consumed alcohol and may be emotionally affected.
If you can't tell
It might not be obvious, but I'm intoxicated.
And I'm not sure what to do when it comes to you
I'm uncertain about how to handle the situation involving you.
It didn't work out and that's fine
Our relationship didn't succeed, and I've come to terms with it.
But if we pass each other by
If we encounter each other, I hope you acknowledge me.
I hope that you still say hi
Despite the breakup, I wish for a friendly greeting.
Cause we were happy, once upon a time
We had a happy past, reminiscing about it.
Would we try to laugh it off
Would we attempt to make light of the situation?
Or just say nothing at all
Or would we choose to remain silent?
Maybe just a lil smile
Perhaps just a small smile to acknowledge the past happiness.
Cause we were happy, once upon a time
We were happy in the past, reflecting on those times.
Cause we were happy, once upon a time
We were happy in the past, emphasizing the nostalgia.
I think about
I contemplate the possibility of running into you.
What it would be like
Imagining the experience of meeting you again.
Running into you
Picturing a late-night encounter.
Late at night
Considering the unexpected nature of the meeting.
At some bar down the street
Visualizing a meeting at a nearby bar.
Right out of the blue, would I keep or lose my cool
Wondering if I would remain composed or lose control.
I get lost, in the scenarios
I immerse myself in various imagined scenarios.
But what I'd really do, no one knows
Uncertain about my actual reactions in such situations.
How to get out of my head, so I can finally get to bed
Struggling to clear my thoughts before bedtime.
It didn't work out and that's fine
Accepting that our relationship didn't work out.
But if we pass each other by
Hoping for a friendly greeting if we cross paths.
I hope that you still say hi
Desiring a positive acknowledgment despite the breakup.
Cause we were happy, once upon a time
Reflecting on the past happiness we shared.
Would we try to laugh it off
Considering whether we would make light of the situation.
Or just say nothing at all
Contemplating the possibility of remaining silent.
Maybe just a lil smile
Suggesting a subtle smile as a gesture of acknowledgment.
Cause we were happy, once upon a time
Recalling the happiness we had in the past.
Cause we were happy, once upon a time
Emphasizing the notion that we were happy in the past.
