Once

Maybe just this once

I want someone to love me enough

That they fight for me

That they struggle to keep me

 

Maybe just this once

It would be nice to be on the other side

To be on the receiving end

Not the one who always caves first

 

Maybe just this once

You could be the one to apologize

The one who tries to set things right

Who gives instead of takes

 

Maybe just this once

I want reassurance I’m enough

That I mean more to you

Than all the troubles we’ve been through

 

Maybe just this once

Someone will love me enough

That they won’t let me go

That they’ll stop me at any cost

Maybe just this once

I need to see some real proof

That you need me too

That I still matter to you

Maybe just this once

I want you to love me enough

That you fight for me

Because maybe just this once

I'm not strong enough
