Once More Without Feeling

[Verse 1]

Your time in the lights came and went just as fast

Stolen from you in your moment of glory

It's an old story

It's an old ghost you can't forget

And you regret the way that it was taken away from you

[Chorus 1]

Now you try to relive what you once could've been

You're mouthing the words you don't even believe in

And you're losing your shadow

You're losing your dreams

You're losing everything

And you can't get it back

[Verse 2]

You say you didn't want much

You only wanted her, and she's not much

You mean it's easier to be mean

Than to say the way you really feel

I wonder how much it would mean if it were real

[Bridge]

Well you take, take, take a sad song and make it last forever

Over and over

Double A-side promo

Once more without feeling

Once more without feeling

One more time to play the stupid game

Of holding onto rubble instead of letting things change

Of holding on and never learning that you can't get it back

[Chorus 2]

Now you're losing your shadow

You're losing your dreams

You're just a ghost of what you used to be-L-I-E-, -lieve (Believe)

And you can't get it back

No, no, you can't get it back

You couldn't hold on, you couldn't let go

Ah, you moved too slow

And you can't get it back
