Once upon a time   A young man got up to play   So many things   The young man wanted to say      It used to be so special   I used to be so proud   I used to be so lonely   I'm so much lonelier now      Once upon a time   A young man got up to play   So many things   The young man wanted to say      He didn't care who listened   And what he had to pay   Somehow he made the wrong move   And made it go away      Chorus      It's the same old story   A young man on the run   He maybe sorry   But the damage has been done   Makin' the same mistakes too many times   He thought it would be ok   Looking inside only to find   The spirit had gone away      Chorus      I'm lonelier now   I'm lonelier now   I'm lonelier now   I'm lonelier now
