Once upon a time
In a place that was all my own
I stepped from these shadows
And thought I had found my home
Your arms they beckoned me
They held me oh so tight
I clung to that feeling
A feeling of peace and light
Once there was a promise
A promise so loud and clear
A vow and choice to always love
To stay by me so very near
Your lies they stung me
A scorpion's poison can be so sweet
How many times can I do this
I continue to play this song on repeat
My youth and beauty
It has come and gone
What more can I do
When everything I do is wrong
Once there was a girl
She looked a lot like me
I wish I could tell her
Run, or you will never be free
