because i was

what does it mean, once in love
that it only happened one time
that there is no going back
that it changes everything forever

once in love, there is no going back
you can try to undo it, deny and regret
you can drink or drug yourself stupid
but there is no way your heart can forget

once in love, you are forever changed
love rewrites all the rules of life's game
even if it goes by fast, even if it does not last
you wake up, and nothing is the same

and the saddest feeling of all is when you're the only one to fall
and the happiest feeling of all is when you share the fall
if you've never been in love you never know
but once in love, you understand the glow
once in love, life takes on a glow

and i still remember
though it was long ago
i still remember
how life would glow

and i still remember
love made life pause
i know once in love, always in love
because i was
