just once

american idol does provide great sources of inspiration.

I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
Or head on out the door

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we got going
And seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer

Just once I want to understand
Why it always comes back to good-bye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand
And admit to one another
That we're no good without the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together

so many things i wish i could say,
but apparently it wouldn't matter anymore.
