It takes a little bit to understand this song, as it's upbeat tone and rather impressive chorus full of double meanings (Once in a life time - Is that a good or bad once in a life time?).
Eventually it hits you like a ton of bricks. She's in an abusive relationship, and has finally gotten out of it in the last stanza, determind not to get into one again, to make sure he was really 'Once in a lifetime.' It's sad to think that he probably won't be the last too, and it's probably intentional that the song ends with that thought.
Alright, I'll start the ball rolling.
