Melissa Ferrick

For Once In My Life

You told me

That you would love me forever

N' you told me

That you couldn't love anyone else

So you left me

To study in the country

Now I find

That you're just studying

Somebody else

N' for once in my life

I was loyal

For once in my life

I was strong

For once in my life

I was honest baby

N' for once in my life

I was wrong

But I'm not

I am not gonna try to save you

N' I'm not

I am not gonna try to change you

If she is how you really want

You'd better let me know

'Cause my emotions

They are starting to get out of control

N' for once in my life

I was loyal

For once in my life

I was strong

For once in my life

I was honest baby

N' for the first time in my life

I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong.

But you see

You told me

That you would love me forever

N' you told me

That you couldn't love anyone else

So you left me

To study in Pennsylvania

N' now I find

That you are just studying

Somebody else

Yeah, now I find that you are just

You're just studying somebody else

I am left

Just studying myself
