Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Once upon a time, somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying
"Fast as I can, I got to go, I got to go"
Once upon a time, we fell apart
You're holding in your hands
The two halves of my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 4]
Once upon a time, we burned bright
Now all we ever seem to do is fight
On and on, and on and on and on
Once upon a time, on the same side
Once upon a time, on the same side
In the same game, now why'd you have to go
Have to go and throw water on my flame?
[Chorus]
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no oh-oh-oh-oh, you let me go oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no oh-oh-oh-oh, you let me go oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
You stole my star
La-la-la-la, la, la-la
La-la-la-la, la, la-la
La-la, la, la-la
You stole my star
La-la-la-la, la, la-la
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
'Cause you really hurt me
No, you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
No, you really hurt me
[Outro]
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh-oh, you really hurt me, ooh
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh-oh, you really hurt me
