Once Was Love

[Verse 1]
Conscious and composed
Just as I should look
Shadowing you close
Unraveling, rapidly

If you take my hand again
I might just crumble
If you walk behind the line
I might just handle you

[Refrain]
I’m baffled by your ways
And hooked on your despair

[Chorus]
Only
Only my emotions
Are keeping me bound to
It’s not like I need you
But I keep holding on
Hoping you still need me
A perfect delusion
Once was love

[Verse 2]
Dangerously remorse
I take on all your pain
Try to fix you, oh
Try to pull you out, try to reverse

Love might think I can distinguish
Hurt from laughter
Love might try to separate us
But I scream louder

[Refrain]
I’m baffled by your ways
And hooked on your despair

[Chorus]
Only (only)
Only my emotions (my emotions)
Are keeping me bound to (yeah)
It’s not like I need you
But I keep holding on (holding on)
Hoping you still need me (you still need me)
A perfect delusion
Once was love
[Bridge]
What I know
‘Cause we can’t recover
Making me doubt
What could have been
Good love
Running around
‘Cause I can’t get over
And when I’m in doubt
Recall who I was before you

[Chorus]
Only
Only my emotions
Are keeping me bound to
It’s not like I need you
But I keep holding on
Hoping you still need me
A perfect delusion
Once was love
