Once in a Lifetime Lyrics
I wanna drink, wanna think
Write a song about it
I wanna smoke, make a joke
Try to hide the damage
I wanna drive this car right over the edge
Of every bad idea I didn't have yet
I look at you
Look at me
Feeling kinda tragic
Dazed and confused
Hard to see where we lost the magic
I never meant to be hypocritical
This fucking crazy ride's left me cynical
And just like that
I know there's no turning back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast and kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Til I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime
I try to run, try to hide
Just forget about it
I tell myself every night
I could live without it
I wanna say goodbye to the loneliness
But every time I do I make another mess
And just like that
I know there's looking back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast and kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Til I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
And just like that
I know there's looking back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast and kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Til I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Write a song about it
I wanna smoke, make a joke
Try to hide the damage
I wanna drive this car right over the edge
Of every bad idea I didn't have yet
Look at me
Feeling kinda tragic
Dazed and confused
Hard to see where we lost the magic
I never meant to be hypocritical
This fucking crazy ride's left me cynical
And just like that
I know there's no turning back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast and kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Til I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime
I try to run, try to hide
Just forget about it
I tell myself every night
I could live without it
I wanna say goodbye to the loneliness
But every time I do I make another mess
And just like that
I know there's looking back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
Take it fast and kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Til I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
I know there's looking back
We already made this bed
And I can't even sleep in it
Never the right time
Take it fast and kill me slow
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
Til I hit an all-time low
Once in a lifetime
Never the right time
To throw out everything we had
Try to forget you
Gotta pretend to
I hope a heart only breaks this bad
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
