Once Again
Reina Khoury Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

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
โ€ฒTil I was missing me
Slowly things started breaking down
Suddenly I'm left on the ground
Couldnโ€ฒt focus, couldn't be myself
And you say you need me but

I'm lost inside my mind
Tryinโ€ฒ 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
Iโ€ฒve only known you for so long
It already feels wrong

I'm not gonna stay here
I donโ€ฒt wanna be with you
So leave me
So leave me be
Once again I'm telling you
You canโ€ฒt force this to work
No, I'm letting go
โ€ฒCause 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 Iโ€ฒm telling you
You canโ€ฒt force this to work
No, I'm letting go
โ€ฒCause it feels so wrong

Every time we try to talk it through
You're blaming me for savinโ€ฒ you
You think you're holdinโ€ฒ on to us
You're not
