[Verse 1]
Used to call me your king
Now I’m just a ghost in your phone
Laughing in the dark with a stranger
While I waited at home
You said I was your only
Swore you’d never let me fall
Now I’m staring at the ceiling
Talking to the wall
[Chorus]
I was your one and only once
Now I’m just a story you don’t want
You broke my heart
You broke my trust
Left me here in the dust
I was your one and only once
Now I’m learning how to live at a loss
Every little step
Every little cut
Hurts so much
Hurts so much (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Friends say “you’ll be fine”
Tell me just to let you go
But they never saw your smile
They don’t feel this empty glow
I keep seeing us laughing
On that old torn-up couch
Now it’s just your perfume fading
Can’t scrub your memory out
[Chorus]
I was your one and only once
Now I’m just a story you don’t want
You broke my heart
You broke my trust
Left me here in the dust
I was your one and only once
Now I’m learning how to live at a loss
Every little step
Every little cut
Hurts so much
Hurts so much (hey!)
[Bridge]
Maybe someday this pain turn sweet
Maybe new love walk down my street
But tonight it’s just me and this broken beat
Still calling your name
Still calling your name
[Chorus]
I was your one and only once
Now I’m just a story you don’t want
You broke my heart
You broke my trust
Left me here in the dust
I was your one and only once
But I’ll rise again from all this loss
Every little tear
Every little scar
Takes me far
Takes me far (oh yeah)
