Once Again
Reina Khoury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I trapped my heart with you way too long
Faked a smile like it was good enough
Thought I got the chance to know you
โฒTil I was missing me
Slowly things started breaking down
Suddenly I'm left on the ground
And you say you need me but
I'm lost inside my mind
Tryinโฒ to figure out my life
While tryna be
Happy for the longest time with you
I am tired of arguing
Would rewrite the day I met you
Iโฒve only known you for so long
It already feels wrong
I'm not gonna stay here
I donโฒt wanna be with you
So leave me
So leave me be
Once again I'm telling you
You canโฒt force this to work
No, I'm letting go
โฒCause it feels so wrong
I'm not gonna stay here
I don't wanna be with you
So leave me
So leave me be
Once again Iโฒm telling you
You canโฒt force this to work
No, I'm letting go
โฒCause it feels so wrong
Every time we try to talk it through
You're blaming me for savinโฒ you
You think you're holdinโฒ on to us
You're not

The lyrics express the singer's frustration and disappointment in the relationship, as she realizes that she has trapped her heart with her partner for too long. She talks about faking a smile and putting on a brave face even though she knew that things were falling apart. The singer yearns to be herself and struggles with the conflict between trying to make the relationship work and wanting to be happy.
The chorus of the song is a poignant declaration of the singer's decision to let go of the relationship, as she feels that it is the only way to end the pain that she is going through. She tells her partner that they can't force the connection to work and that she is done with the arguments and blame game. The Arabic lyrics at the end of the song further express the singer's anguish and frustration, as she tries to communicate her feelings, but her partner won't listen.
Overall, "Once Again" is a powerful song that captures the essence of a broken relationship, the pain of lost love, and the difficulty of letting go.
