Once upon a time she lay there in her bed   eyes red from crying cheeks wet from tears   she knew the truth but she lacked pride inside   but she’d   keep trying and   keep failing   but she’d      get up and walk outside and   wonder why the light’s so dim   cause’ she cried all day and she cried all night   asking herself when?      how many times can a heart break    before it cannot cry   how many fails can lead successes   before one fails to try    I’ll tell you that   I’ll tell you that      CHORUS   3 more days    and 10 more tries   she’ll lead him on and then say goodbye   daylight falls and    darkness shines   this is my song   everyday falls   everyone falls   anyone can try again   no more covers   no more fronts   this is my song   I’m leaving   starting new again      She never told you just how much she really cared   so she’d leave you guessing never really knowing    instead   she would       break down   forget   try to erase the world outside   but she wouldn’t give up and    she wouldn’t give in   she wouldn’t give up    she wouldn’t give in   keep trying, keeping trying      -CHORUS-      Once upon a time I lay there in my bed   eyes red from crying cheeks wet from tears
