Once
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Had as much as you could take
I'm only gonna let you kill me
Once, once, once, yeah
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, yeah
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
I'm only gonna let you kill me then some
I'm only gonna let you kill me
Once, once, once, yeah
I'm only gonna let you kill me once
