I Met a Girl Once

I met a girl once, and she changed my life

I met a girl once, and I wanted to take away her strife

But that’s the price you pay for high hopes

The longing for a perfect love, having to cope 

I met a girl once, she was the most perfect one

I met a girl once, her flaws were none

But I could only look from afar,

she was brighter than all of the stars

I met a girl once, she made me feel numb

I met a girl once, compared to her, she made me feel dumb

Because a rose was meant for the best and not any other

I was not meant to be a lover

I met a girl once, and I wanted her to stay

I met a girl once, and she walked away
