Verse 1

There are so many things out there

So many stones to turn and stare at

I'm sure you're sorry, but it's not enough

To balance off

I can recall a happy song

But such a lot has turned out wrong

I'm only starting to apprecaite

How dark it got

Chorus

Once in a while

Once in a while

Once in a while everything was perfect

Till you dragged the cat in

Once in a while

Once in a while

Bridge

Until you ask me to

I don't know what I'll do

I don't wanna drive you away

I don't wanna beg you to stay

But I can't forgive you

'Till you ask me one day

Verse 2

I threatened I would pack my bags

How could ever let that happen

I'm sure you're sorry, but you never show

Any regret

I can provide the compliments

To ease your mind at my expense

I know you love me, but I'd rather've found

You cared back then

Chorus

Once in a while

Once in a while

Once in a while everything was perfect

Till the cat came crawlin'

Into your mind

And you went blind

All of the time
