Once Again
The P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Girl)
I fell once again
I thought something was there
But I was wrong
So I just lost another one instead
I told all my friends
Bout the girl stuck in my head
Did I do something wrong this time

Or was it all pretend
What do you see in him
All I wanted was to be your man
Would've gave you anything or everything if you took my hand
Everything that shines isn't gold
I wish I would've known
'Cause now your just some girl I got pictures with in my phone
He better treat you right
Bring you little flowers that are white
'Cause that what you like girl
I still wish I was your guy though
Woah
We never got the chance
To have that dance we said we'd have
(Girl)
I fell once again
I thought something was there
But I was wrong
So I just lost another one instead
I told all my friends
Bout the girl stuck in my head
Did I do something wrong this time
Or was it all pretend
I thought you were different
Different
But I guess all those thoughts that I had were just ignorant
Ignorant
I should've seen right through you
But to me this shit is brand new
Thought you want me too
Guess I was just confused
Ohhh
Ah
(Girl)
I fell once again
I thought something was there
But I was wrong
So I just lost another one instead
I told all my friends
Bout the girl stuck in my head
Did I do something wrong this time
Or was it all pretend
I fell once again
I thought something was there
But I was wrong
So I just lost another one instead
I told all my friends
Bout the girl stuck in my head
Did I do something wrong this time
Or was it all pretend
(Girl)
I fell once again
I thought something was there
But I was wrong
So I just lost another one instead
I told all my friends
Bout the girl stuck in my head

Did I do something wrong this time
Or was it all pretend

Overall Meaning

The singer expresses their initial belief that there was something special between them and the other person, only to realize that it was all a misconception.

In the second verse, the singer realizes their own naivety in believing this person was different and holds themselves accountable for their own ignorance.

They had believed that the other person wanted them too, only to realize they were confused and mistaken.

Overall, "Once Again" portrays the disappointment and heartbreak of falling for someone who turned out to be disingenuous. The lyrics convey a sense of longing, regret, and a feeling of being deceived.
