Once upon a time 00:00

I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye 00:02

And we caught onto something 00:06

I hold onto the night 00:08

You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me 00:10

Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me 00:14

This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak 00:17

I don't feel welcome anymore 00:20

Baby, what happened? Please, tell me 00:22

'Cause one second it was perfect, now you're halfway out the door 00:25

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called 00:29

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all 00:34

And you flashback to when he said "forever and always" 00:38

Oh-oh-oh, oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong 00:43

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 00:49

'Cause I was there when you said "forever and always" 00:53

Was I out of line? 01:00

Did I say something way too honest? 01:02

Made you run and hide like a scared little boy 01:04

I looked into your eyes 01:07

Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure 01:10

So here's to everything coming down to nothing 01:15

Here's to silence that cuts me to the core 01:19

Where is this going? 01:22

Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore 01:25

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called 01:29

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all 01:34

And you flashback to when he said "forever and always" 01:38

Oh-oh-oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong 01:43

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 01:49

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always" 01:53

You didn't mean it baby 01:59

I don't think so 02:03

Oh-oh, oh, oh 02:08

Oh, back up, baby, back up 02:24

Did you forget everything? 02:28

Back up, baby, back up 02:32

Did you forget everything? 02:35

'Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong 02:43

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 02:47

'Cause I was there when you said "forever and always" 02:51

Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called 02:57

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all 03:02

And you flashback to when we said "forever and always" 03:06

And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong 03:13

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 03:17

'Cause I was there when you said "forever and always" 03:21

You didn't mean it, baby 03:27

You said "forever and always" yeah 03:31

Lyrics:

[English]

Once upon a time

I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye

And we caught onto something

I hold onto the night

You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me

Were you just kidding? 'Cause it seems to me

This thing is breaking down, we almost never speak

I don't feel welcome anymore

Baby, what happened? Please, tell me

'Cause one second it was perfect, now you're halfway out the door

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said "forever and always"

Oh-oh-oh, oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said "forever and always"

Was I out of line?

Did I say something way too honest?

Made you run and hide like a scared little boy

I looked into your eyes

Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure

So here's to everything coming down to nothing

Here's to silence that cuts me to the core

Where is this going?

Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when he said "forever and always"

Oh-oh-oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said, "Forever and always"

You didn't mean it baby

I don't think so

Oh-oh, oh, oh

Oh, back up, baby, back up

Did you forget everything?

Back up, baby, back up

Did you forget everything?

'Cause it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said "forever and always"

Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called

And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all

And you flashback to when we said "forever and always"

And it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong

It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone

'Cause I was there when you said "forever and always"

You didn't mean it, baby

You said "forever and always" yeah

Grammar:

I believe it **was** a Tuesday **when** I caught your eye

➔ Past Simple, Relative Clause with 'when'

➔ Uses the past simple tense 'was' to describe a past event. The relative clause using 'when' introduces a specific time when the action occurred.
Were you just kidding? **'Cause** it seems to me...

➔ Informal 'because' ('cause'), Indirect Speech structure 'it seems to me'

➔ 'Cause' is a shortened, informal version of 'because'. 'It seems to me' introduces an opinion or belief in a polite and indirect way.
Now you're halfway **out of** the door

➔ Prepositional Phrase ('out of')

➔ 'Out of' indicates movement or a state of being no longer within a certain place or situation. Here, it signifies leaving the relationship.
And then you feel so low you **can't feel** nothing at all

➔ Double Negative (unintentional), Modal Verb ('can't')

➔ While technically a double negative, the phrase is used for emphasis. 'Can't feel nothing' is intended to mean 'unable to feel anything.' It's a common, though grammatically incorrect, expression.
Did I say something **way too honest**?

➔ Adverb ('way') modifying an Adjective ('honest')

➔ The adverb 'way' intensifies the adjective 'too honest', indicating a very high degree of honesty that might have caused a negative reaction.
Made you run and hide **like** a scared little boy

➔ Simile using 'like'

➔ 'Like' is used to make a comparison between the person's reaction (running and hiding) and the behavior of a scared little boy.
Thought I knew for a minute, **but** I don't anymore

➔ Contrast with 'but', adverb 'anymore'

➔ 'But' introduces a contrast to the previous thought. 'Anymore' indicates that a previous state or action is no longer true or occurring.
You didn't mean it, baby

➔ Past Simple Negative ('didn't mean')

➔ Uses the past simple negative form to express that the person did not have sincere intentions when saying 'forever and always'.
