Melancholaholic (Once Upon a Dream) Lyrics

I tried so hard not to love you, I tried and tried and tried

When I failed so miserably I cried and cried and cried

Though loving you was madness it always felt so right

Love that suffers misery must always have its price

The price was nights of sorrow without you by my side

Unyielding tomorrows, they're never satisfied

The price was melancholia, the price was a double wide

The price for loving you was never to have you by my side

Tell me, do I come to you in the stillness of the night

When you think of all you've ever loved, all you've left behind

Do you feel my touch upon your hair, hear my lonely sighs

Dream the dream we almost shared, once... upon a time

I'm lonely, I'm without, I walk around within

Thinking of the times I tried to win you back again

I'm in chains for you baby and these chains will never end

They tighten each time you give your smile away to other men

Your beauty never wavers, your charm never expires

Your wit, it never ceases, you're always perfectly in time

Your cheeks are flushed with redness, two roses and midday sun

Your smile is effervescent and compares to no other one

But in the end it's only you made me such a slave

It's always small and tender things that break the bold and brave

And if it wasn't you, it would have happened anyway

You knocked me down from being proud and you threw me in this grave

Tell me, do I come to you in the stillness of the night

When you think of all you've ever loved, all you've left behind

Do you feel my touch upon your hair, hear my lonely sighs

And dream the dream we almost shared, once... upon a time

Perhaps it is the wind speaks so soft to me tonight

The changing leaves in the trees that wave their last goodbyes

Perhaps it is Your Holy Hill, Your presence I will find

That comes to me and comforts me across the Great Divide

Tell me, will You come to me in the stillness of the night

When you think of all you've ever loved, all you've left behind

Will I feel your touch upon my hair, hear your lonely sighs

And dream the dream we almost shared, once...

Upon a time
