Broken hearted guy
Inventing memories
Of someone he just canīt forget
Like a twenty-three old child
That doesnīt know what to do
Lost like he thought heīd never get
Walking towards what he knew he wouldnīt find
With his eyes open wided when he thought that he was blind
Straight into the heart of who he knows he canīt defeat
Playing a game in which he knows he cannot cheat
Chorus
Once upon a Love Story
That he wouldnīt tell
He travels with an angel
Between heaven and hell
Hiding what had happened
Because he was ashamed
He killed her with his bare hands
And the dream became a nightmare
He was standing there alone
When he tried to cut her wings
He discovered she never was really there
And love was an illusion
Just another lie
He was fooled by an image
A living oasis with no sins
Now he couldnīt get his freedom
He was cursed with blame
Crying in vain
For what he had done
Sorry even for being born
When he fell in love
He couldnīt tell right from wrong
And he didnīt know when was the time to stop
And he wasnīt able to recognize the dream
And he didnīt realize that it had ended till that scream
Of a fallen angel that was lying there in his arms
Crying because he left her there, lonely, to die
Repeat Chorus
