Once upon a lonely
time I could barely make it through the night
It always seemed the sky
was falling down on me
Life's funny and you don't own it
Things can change
in a single moment
That's what happened to me
Every time a promise fell through
Every time my heart broke in two
And it was always too
dark to see the horizon
When I thought I had
it right in my hands
It would slip right through like sand
I didn't know why, but now I see
Better life had other plans for
me
I was doing my best, giving my all
Kept hit ting my head
up against the wall
Missing the mark when I thought
my aim was true
I didn't know just what it meant,
but now I see that it was heaven sent
Cause that's when I met you
And every time a promise fell through
Every time my heart broke in two
And it was always too
dark to see the horizon
When I thought I had
it right in my hands
It would slip right through like sand
And I didn't know why, but now I see
That life had other plans for me
When I was at my worst and
couldn't see the light
Somehow I knew it would be alright
Cause every time a promise fell through
Every time a heart broke in two
And it was always too dark
to see the ho rizon
When I thought I had it right in my hands
It was slippery through like sand
And I didn't know why, but now I see
That life had other plans
Oh, life had other plans for me
