Just Once     Lyrics and Music by Rick Lorenzini

V1
There were no telltale signs
Oh well, farewell
No hints, not a glint at all
Our lives simply strolled along
But it was taking its toll

I was so much more than your pretty Valentine
But we were never completely attached
And I’m resigned to say, baby 
We were just a terrible match

Chorus
There will be whys
Like why would I hold you again
And there will be times
When I wonder where you’ve been
But in the end what will mend that which is broken
Is if I know you once loved me

Lift
Darling, that’s what you called me
Whenever the stars appeared
Now those words turn me over on this lonesome night
And your name is no longer spoken here

The breath in your voice, the gasp when we kiss
Still lingers in the air I take in
And on the bedstand those cocktail napkin love letters you wrote 
We’re just wine-soaked paper, words, and meaningless 

Chorus
There will be days
When I won’t think of you again
It will be okay
If I never know where you’ve been
But in the end what will mend that which is broken
Is if I know you once loved me

Bridge
Deep inside I’ve died a thousand times
While I held my breath waiting for you
My heart keeps on beating
That bears repeating
Yes, it pounds in my chest like it’s supposed to
Still for you
Chorus
And I’m satisfied
To never see you again
There will be times
When I will wonder just where you’ve been
But in the end what will mend that which is broken
Is if I know you once loved me

In the end what will mend this heart that is broken
Is if I know
Is If I know
You just once loved me
