Lyrics For Once In My Life - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

For Once In My Life

I hope and I pray that this wall of illusion will all fall one-day, someday
Someday I know I’ll make it happen, someday
I try, yes I am trying
But I’m more afraid of living than I ever was of dying
Am I what I am I am I am lonely I am lost
Searching for a reason no matter what it costs
I need to believe is this all there is to me
Someday x7
Bloody wounds make old scars
No-one said it would be easy, does it have to be so hard
Someday, someday
Someday something good is gonna happen, someday
I try, yes I am trying
But I’m more afraid of giving than I ever was of loving
Am I what I am I am I am lonely I am lost
Searching for a reason no matter what it costs
I need to believe is this all there is to me
No more reason to be shy
No more pain to hold inside
No more fear, no more blame
No more need to compromise
Another time, another place
Tired of this middle-ground and so ashamed to show my face
Someday, someday
Someday I know I’ll make it happen, someday
I try, yes I am trying
I am so so sick of hurting and I’ve had enough of crying
Am I what I am I am I am lonely I am lost
Searching for a reason no matter what it costs
Someday x7
Someday I know I’ll make it happen
Someday I know
Someday (to fade)
