Lyrics of the song 'Once Was' - Trang Tạ
Don't cry, I'll always be right here
Even if you never feel that way
Someone silently stands behind, unnoticed
Concerned about how your life is now?
Secretly wishing for your happiness and joy
After the day we drifted apart
Turns out, breaking up feels this painful
Endless days linger in silence
Wandering aimlessly to places we once traversed
Each old memory, a teardrop falls
Aching within the constricted heart
How long until I can forget
Someone I once saw as the world?
No matter how deep the love was
We still lost each other
Why can't I love someone else too
Since the day we had to part ways
Every day, I just want to return to you
Craving to hold you tight like a child
Being by each other's side again like we once were
Did you know?
Turns out, breaking up feels this painful
The long days linger in stillness
Wandering through each place we used to visit
Every old memory makes a teardrop fall
Aching within the constricted heart
How long until you can forget
Someone I once regarded as the world?
Even how deep the love was, we still lost each other
Why in the past
Didn't you hold my hand once more?
Why hastily let go like that?
Why in the past
Were you always unintentionally distant?
Why just because of one stormy night
Why did we hastily drift apart?
To now be left alone
Suppressing so much pain like this
Turns out, breaking up feels this painful
The long days linger in stillness
Wandering alone to places once shared
Each old memory a teardrop falls
Aching within the constricted heart
How long until you can forget
Someone you once saw as the world?
No matter how deep the love was
We still lost each other
No matter how deep the love was
It's just a thing of the past
