All at once I finally took a moment And I'm realizing that You're not coming back And it's finally hit me all at once All at once I've started counting teardrops And at least a million fell My eyes began to swell And all my dreams were shattered all at once Ever since I met you You're the only love I've known And I can't forget you Though I must face it all alone All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Wishing you'd come back to me And that's all that matters now All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Holding on to memories And it's hurt me more than you know So much more than it shows All at once All at once I looked around and found that you were With another love In someone else's arms And all my dreams were shattered all at once All at once the smile that used to greet me Brightened someone else's day She took your smile away And left me with just memories all at once Ever since I met you You're the only love I've known And I can't forget you Though I must face it all alone All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Wishing you'd come back to me And that's all that matters now All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Holding on to memories And it's hurt me more than you know So much more than it shows All at once All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Wishing you'd come back to me And it's hurt me more than you know So much more than it shows All at once And that's all that matters now All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Wishing you'd come back to me And it's hurt me more than you know So much more
