Once

Once, I was a dog for you, once
A cold-hearted tongue to your beauty, my beast
Dead on my feet again, once
And once, you bred like the plague with me, once
Night and day and to entertain you
I'd play the fool for you once
Now it's all gone, I miss you here
Laughing at things
Once we could have been something
More than bitter arguments
Which is how our romance went once
I loved you
Once, sat watching the door for you, once
Fell asleep on the phone wating
'Til you came home
Broken and cold to me, once
Once and never to be again
Once, you held me back, my friend
To-one to call, a friend to you, no more, once
It is all gone, I miss you here
Laughing at things
Once we could have been something
More than bitter arguments
Which is how our romance went once
I loved you
