Once upon a time
Life was once so kind
I had the girl of my dreams
My life had been complete
But
Tears began to fall
I lost everything I could in one call
How could this be
Why couldn't they just see
But
The odds were against us
Why doesn't anybody understand my love
Oh-ooo
This is for the better they say
But I'd be lying if I said I was okay
I loved her so deeply my heart still aches
But the odds
But the odds were against us
I finally had her in my life
Why couldn't things just go right
I wanted to be there for her
But being her friend just brings me hurt
Tears began to fall
If only I could have stalled
But I can't stop myself from crying
I've done all I could and I'm still trying
But the odds were against us
Nobody understands my love
This is for the better they say
But I'd be lying if I said that I was okay
I loved her so deeply
My heart still aches oh
I don't know how much more I can take
When the odds were against us
When the odds were against us
I'm not giving up my love
When the odds were against us
