Alexa Allender - Once

Once there was a girl
Once she fell in love

Once she got hurt
Once she got left

Once she felt alone
Once she broke

Once there was a girl
Once she smiled

Once there was a boy
Once he frowned

Once he frowned at a smiling girl
Once he thought of bad thoughts

Once there was a boy and a girl
Once they fell for each other

Once the girl left the boy
Once the boy frowned

Once the boy hurt, and he thought hurt thoughts
Once there was a girl

This girl, this girl
She left, for good.
