Once Lyrics

Here we are
A careful distance
Have 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 can take

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
Once, once, once, yeah
Once, once, once, yeah
Once, once

Ashes burn the morning after
Only know I’m here to stay
I was sold, I let you see me
That was dumb, but that’s okay
Tripping down to your place
What is love anyway?

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
Once, once, once, yeah
Once, once, once, yeah
I’m only gonna let you kill me

You are whatever you do
Don’t let anyone love you
Touch them where it hurts
Then you’ll 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
Once, once, once, yeah
Once, once, once, yeah
I’m only gonna let you kill me

Cover art for Once lyrics by Diana Vickers

I like the song and I don't really care if Diana Vickers came out of the x factor. I think it's about not letting anyone hurt her more than once because they're not worth it. Perhaps she also questions her faith in people and what love is about. It has to do with betrayal and the fact that some people hurt others and they don't approach them easily which results in pain

Cover art for Once lyrics by Diana Vickers

Hey, I heard that Vickers was going to take an Indie acoustic approach on her debut album. I thought that I MIGHT just buy an album from an X factor product. Turns out that this song is only marginally better than any Leono Lewis song. I have an eclectic music taste but x factor crap is not a genre I'd bother listening to.

Simon Cowell needs to stop ruining music with these manufactured pop stars.

First of all, Simon Cowell has nothing to do with Diana. After The X Factor, she refused to sign to his record company, and instead signed to RCA Records.

Secondly, have you even heard the rest of her album? In my opinion, Once is probably one of the weakest songs on the album, being out shined by the likes of Put It Back Together and Remake Me + You.

And lastly, I'd hardly say Once is better than every Leona Lewis song. Sure, some of them are pretty crappy, but again, if you listen to the whole of her albums, you'll...

I totally agree. You cant judge a album nerdymuso without hearing it it first. The album is amazing, I dont have a weak track as I love them all :)
