waterhouse - once lyrics

Loading...

i was happy once
a part of me felt complete
i knew nothing of pain
my heart held a steady beat

a bond like ours could never fray
and our three cords made a rope
and all of it was good then
before i forgot how to hope

i often went to the well
the water lasted for days
and when my mood fell
i harbored comfort in its place

there was so much joy in me
and i was free from sorrow
i didn’t know who i’d become
or see the path i’d follow

once i was happy
i completely fell apart
pain’s nothing new to me
it beat its way into my heart

afraid of my bondage
the rope and i made accords
then all of it was good
i hoped to forget about before

well i often went
long lasting days without water
i felled my mood when
i replaced comfort with harbor

i owned no lot in joy
and sorrow came to set me free
i wouldn’t become who i’d known
or follow a path i couldn’t see

it all changed so fast
i never had a chance to regain the things i’d lost
i tried so hard to foster thoughts of better days
i’m out of words to say

but i’ll tell you all
i’ll recount every pained gasp
and short goodbye
but would that i had died in her place
mine should’ve lain where her body lay
i fall to my knees and pray

won’t you take me by the hand
and lead me to the promised land
won’t you take this sickness from my head
and give me wholesome thoughts instead
won’t you take this cup from me
and make me the man i’m meant to be
won’t you take this sorrow mine
and fill me up with bread and wine

won’t you take me by the hand
and lead me to the promised land
won’t you take this sickness from my head
and give me wholesome thoughts instead
won’t you take this cup from me
and make me the man i’m meant to be
won’t you take this sorrow mine
and fill me up with bread and wine

fill me up

my mind’s filled with voices and my body’s but a slave
d-mn me for my bondage but don’t blame me for the chains

my mind’s filled with voices and my body’s but a slave
d-mn me for my bondage but don’t blame me for the chains

my mind’s filled with voices and my body’s but a slave
d-mn me for my bondage but don’t blame me for the chains

my mind’s filled with voices and my body’s but a slave
d-mn me for my bondage
