Once upon a lonely time   I could barely make it though the night   It always seemed the sky was falling   Down on me   But life's funny you don't own it   Things can change in a single moment   That's what happened to me      Every time a promise fell through   Every time my heart broke in two   And it was always too dark to see the horizon   When I thought I had it right in my hand   It would slip right through like sand   I didn't know why but now I see   That life had other plans for me      I was doing my best,giving my all   Kept hittin' my head up against the wall   Missin' the mark when I thought my   Aim was true   I didn't know just what it meant   But now I see that it was heaven sent   'Cause that's when I met you      Every time a promise fell through   Every time my heart broke in two   And it was always too dark to see the horizon   When I thought I had it right in my hand   It would slip right through like sand   I didn't know why but now I see   That life had other plans for me      When I was at my worst   And couldn't see the light   Somehow I knew it would   Be alright,cause      Every time a promise fell through   Every time my heart broke in two   And it was always too dark to see the horizon   When I thought I had it right in my hand   It would slip right through like sand   I didn't know why but now I see   That life had other plans for me      Life had other plans for me
