Told You Once Lyrics

Well I wouldn't have it any other way
Your body's fine but your mind is not ok
Well I think about some other day
My only wish is that you would stay
And I wish there was something I could do
'Cause I hate myself more than i hate you

And I told you once
And I'll tell you twice
There is nothing in this world I would sacrifice
And I can't be real
And I can't be nice
There is nothing in this world I would sacrifice
Sometimes my mind feels like an ashtray

That's just the price you have to pay
Feel like ships are gone but I feel fine today
And I wish there was somehting I could do
'Cause I hate myself more than I hate you

And I told you once
And I'll tell you twice
There is nothing in this world I would sacrifice
And I can't be real
And I can't be nice
There is nothing in this world I would sacrifice

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this is just about being selfish, and wishing you could be more nice, caring and genuine but not being able to. It's self-conflifction; "I wish there was something I could do, I hate myself more than I hate you" and there being a level of care, but not enough for them to sacrifice their own selfishness for "I can't be real, and I can't be nice; there is nothing in this world I would sacrifice"
