Could've been the best I ever had
I was waiting for the perfect time to ask
Took my time, took it slow
Now we'll never know

What's the point of asking you to stay
When you don't ever seem to think of me that way
Yes I'm hurt, but it won't show
Now I'd better go

These words are nothing if not spoken, but I've got the timing wrong
Just a moment or a chance to make you mine
These hands have nothing if not holding you, but all those days are gone
I said I love you, but that was once upon a time

Always dreamed we'd make it in the end
But it seems you only want to be some kind of friend
I deserve so much more
Can't wait anymore

These words are nothing if not spoken, but I've got the timing wrong
Just a moment or a chance to make you mine
These hands are nothing if not holding you, but all those days are gone
I said I love you, but that was once upon a time

Should've known that nothing lasts forever
Even if I picture it that way
There was a time for now or never
That was yesterday

Thinking of the time we could've had
As I sit and look at every photograph

These words are nothing if not spoken, but I've got the timing wrong
Just a moment or a chance to make you mine
These hands have nothing if not holding you, but all those days are gone
I said I love you, but that was once
I said I love you, but that was once
I said I love you, but that was once upon a time
