Here we are, a careful distance
Here’s my heart, what’s left of it
In this town, I used to listen
Once, Once, Yeah
I had hope, blind faith
I had as much as you could take
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once…
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
Ashes burn the morning after
Only know I’m here to stay
I was so, I let you see me
That was dumb, but that’s OK
Tripping down to your place
What is love anyway?
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once…
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
Who or whatever you do
Don’t let anyone hurt you
Touch them where it hurts
And watch them leave
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once, Once, yeah
Once, Once…
I’m only gonna let you kill me once
