Evangeline Lyrics - Brian Vander Ark - Brian Vander Ark

I used to be a big star, depending on who you ask 

Made a million friends in minutes, but the minutes didn't last 

The melody escapes me, your brightness all around 

You're the reason that the light is faster than the speed of sound 

With everything we have in mind for you 

It's most important that you find 

That 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine 

Bt you always were and always will be our Evangeline 

Now, go on be a big star, hit 'em hard and fast 

Just make sure the answers don't depend on who you ask 

'Cause they might tell you some things, they might leave you alone 

Just don't listen if they tell you 'You can never go back home' 

When everything is said and done, the beauty is the best is yet to come 

And 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine 

But you always were and always will be our Evangeline 

Slips and falls and fingers burned 

Treat them all as lessons learned 

Relationships might end in flames 

But the chance to love is worth the pain 

And 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine 

But you always were and always will be our Evangeline 

'Cause 'use to be's' mean nothing and 'gonna be's' are fine 

But you always were and always will be our Evangeline 

Slips and falls and fingers burned 

Treat them all as lessons learned 

Relationships might end in flames 

But the chance to love is worth the pain 

And whether weak or being tough 

Being good is good enough 

'Cause being good is all you can do 

But sometimes bad is okay too
