Lyric The Ones We Once Loved - Ben & Ben

 

"The Ones We Once Loved"

Saw you singing your song the other day

It's been a long time since your eyes lit up that way

I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong

Did I have to sweep in and scar you?

Five years, we shared the bitter-sweetness of our youth

Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?

But I'm not taking it against you

Since the beginning I never wanted anything

But to see you reach your dreams

I knew that you just wanted me

But I had dreams of my own, and I just couldn't let them go

So I apologize

For coming into your life

Just to break your heart to pieces

And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side

But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes

We aren't meant to be the one

So goodbye to the ones we once loved

When things got heavy, and you expected more from me

I tried to be there to take away your tears

But I didn't notice that I was chipping away

At pieces of myself 'til there was nothing left to give

I didn't even want to live

But I apologize

For coming into your life

Just to break your heart to pieces

And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side

But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes

We aren't meant to be the one

So goodbye to the ones we once loved

I realized it wasn't anyone's fault at all

It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall

Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other

But I wish you well

And I'm sorry

Oh I apologize

For coming into your life

Just to break your heart to pieces

And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side

But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes

We aren't meant to be the one

So goodbye to the ones

I wasn't meant to be the one

So goodbye to the one I once loved
