Once Lyrics

Cover art for Once lyrics by OSI

Moore falls in love with girl. Both promise each other they won't hurt themselves.

Shit happens.

The relationship ends. Girl finds another guy, hurts Moore.

And so this song gets made.

It can also be interpreted like this: the 'once' lines talk about how great and happy their relationship was, while the 'now' lines refer to how things got to a point that they're just hurting each other, the relationship stalemated, etc.
