There are so many things out there
So many stones to turn and stare at
I'm sure you're sorry but it's not enough to balance off

I can recall a happy song
But such a lot has turned out wrong
I'm only starting to appreciate how dark it got


Once in a while
Once in a while

Once in a while everything was perfect
Till you dragged the cat in
Once in a while


Until you ask me to
I don't know what I'll do

I don't wanna drive you away
I don't wanna beg you to stay
But I can't forgive you till you ask me one day


I threatened I would pack my bags
How could you ever let that happen?

I'm sure you're sorry but you never showed regret
I can't provide the compliments
To ease your mind at my expense

I know you love me but I'd rather've found you cared back then

Once in a while

Once in a while
Once in a while everything was perfect
Till you dragged the cat in

Once in a while
