i gave my best
but i guessed my best wasn't good enough
coz here we are back where we were before

seems nothing ever changes
we're back to being strangers
wondering if we ought to stay
or head on out the door

just once
can we figure out where we keep doing wrong
why we nv last for very long
wat are we doing wrong

just once
can we find a way to finally make it right
to make the magic last for more than just one night
if we could just get through it
i know we could break through it

i gave my all
but i think my all may have been too much
coz god knows we're not getting anyway
seems we're always blowing
whatever we got going
and it seems like time is all we got
but we haven't got a prayer

just once...i want to understand...
why it always comes back to goodbye
why can't we get ourselves in hand
and admit to one another
we're no good without each other
take the best and make it better
find a way and stay together...

oh~ we can get through it...just once...
