Once Lyrics

Could it be that I believed
I could keep this ringside seat
and then cheat this ill-conceived make-believe
with a creep?
Did I hear you choke on your overflow?
There's the door turn off the lights as you go.
Did I hear you beg? It's a double edge.
No way you could know here this goes and

Once was way too much and
Twice won't be enough and
Love can make you strong but
Not when it's this wrong, no.

Got you pegged; lost your edge.
Retrospect has been rechecked.
And this duet is just mislead so instead
call it; it's dead.
Did you double-take when you over paid
for this sad display? How's the aftertaste?
Did I hear you moan when you're all alone?
No way you could know this goes and

Once was way too much and
Twice won't be enough and
Love can make you strong but
Not when it's this wrong, no.

Did I hear you chock on your overflow?
There's the door turn off the lights as you go.
Did I hear you beg? It's a double edge.
No way you could know here this goes and

Once was way too much and
Twice won't be enough and
Love can make you strong but
Not when it's this wrong, no
