Once Upon A Time
One More Girl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you even know
What's right or wrong?
Would you really care
If I was gone?

Said you wanted me
That I'm all yours
Now I'm thinkin' baby
What was all that for?

You were my once upon a time
You promised me forever
I'm taking back this heart of mine
And leaving you with never
(Oh)

Maybe I'm to blame
For believing you
Putting up with all
The things you do

And I'm tired now
Of your stupid game
And I'm learning that
You will never change

You were my once upon a time
You promised me forever
I'm taking back this heart of mine
And leaving you with never (oh)
(Oh)

My fairytale is coming to an end

You were my once upon a time
You promised me forever
I'm taking back this heart of mine
And leaving you with never, never
(Oh)

I hope you know by now
That you were wrong




Tell me how's it feel
Now that I'm gone

Overall Meaning

The song "Once Upon A Time" by One More Girl is an emotionally charged song about realizing the reality of a relationship that had once seemed like a fairy tale. The song opens with a questioning tone as the singer wonders if her significant other even knows the difference between right and wrong and whether they would even care if she was gone. She then reflects on how she had once believed the promises of forever that he made to her, but is left feeling confused and hurt as she begins to understand that those promises were empty words.


As the song progresses, the singer takes responsibility for believing in the relationship and putting up with the behavior of her partner, but is now tired of the games and understands that he will never change. She declares that she is taking back her heart and leaving him with never - never wanting to be with him again. The song ends with the singer expressing that her fairytale has come to an end and that her former partner was wrong, and she questions how he feels now that she is gone.


The lyrics of this song speak to the experience of many individuals who find themselves in relationships where they believe in forever, only to realize that reality falls short of what they had hoped for. The powerful chorus and emotive delivery of the lyrics create a sense of strength and determination, as the singer takes control of her life and moves on from a relationship that no longer serves her.
