Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying, "Fast as they 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
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Once upon a time we're burning bright
That all we ever seemed 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 it all in my flame
Could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no, you let me go
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring,
But no, you let me go
Stole my star
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
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh, you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh, you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh-oh, you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh-oh, you really hurt me
Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying, "Fast as they 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
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Once upon a time we're burning bright
That all we ever seemed 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 it all in my flame
Could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no, you let me go
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring,
But no, you let me go
Stole my star
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
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh, you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh, you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh-oh, you really hurt me
'Cause you really hurt me
Oh-oh, you really hurt me

I love Coldplay and i think this song is awesome. I've had it on repeat for about 5 days now and it gets better every time i hear it. I think it's always important to find your own meaning of a song, instead of constantly picking holes in what something's not. You don't like it, don't comment. This new sound of theirs is like a whole new dimension and i think it's important that we see this side, like with many other artists too that are so capable of being versatile. If you release all albums sounding the same you're gonna get boring. Take Muse for one. Every album has been different. And Lady Gaga. Born This Way and The Fame are like day and night. But you know what? It's working, no matter how many people hated it. I was one of those that hated it but i've now grown to love them. But anyway, it doesn't matter how many synths Coldplay use or guitars they don't, the fact of the matter is, it's music. And that's what should be important.
This is cute, really. Yeah, it's all music. And Twilight is a book, too. Just because it exists doesn't mean its good. What should be important is the artistic merit. And seeing as how this is a complete rip-off of a bland, cliche pop style, I can't find much artistic merit in there.<br /> <br /> I'd agree that a new sound would be a good thing and would show versatility, but this isn't a new sound. It's copied from every other pop artist. Coldplay has made their own sound up to this point, but they let their style get lost under another overused and banal style in this song and throughout the album. Copying garbage isn't progression or growth.
Also, I like how everyone is rating my comments down but can't actually respond to them. Good job on not being able to counter my arguments, guys.
