Once upon a time I loved you beyond myself. I loved you with a strength and passion that could have raised us both above that same strength and passion, both our greatest traits and our greatest downfalls. Yes, once upon a time, I did.
Perhaps it wasn't only of our faults. Perhaps we are both to blame for what went wrong. When are you going to realise that? When are you going to realise, it was just that the time was wrong? If I had loved a little later… you a little sooner… but conjectures are useless now. I can't say why it ended. It just did.
Well now everything dies baby that's
a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back
Put
your makeup on fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in
Atlantic City
If that's all you can do to try and make me love you again.
Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold but with you forever I'll stay
I was supposed to be the one letting go. But maybe when you love that deeply it stays with you. Maybe you can never let it go. Maybe it stays with you, forever. So maybe you'll stay with me forever.
Is that what I want?
Down here it's just
winners and losers and don't get caught on the wrong side of that
line
Well I'm tired of comin' out on the losin' end
I know I lost you everything in giving you all that you wanted. Maybe I was your downfall. But you've been mine, too. You're still mine.
Well I guess everything dies
baby that's a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes
back
Put your hair up nice and set up pretty
and meet me
tonight in Atlantic City
Meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Meet
me tonight in Atlantic City
