  • Oh

    Once upon a time somebody ran
    Somebody ran away saying fast as I can
    I've got to go, I've got to go!

    Once upon a time we fell apart
    You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart
    Oh, oh!

    Oh

    Once upon a time, we burned bright
    Now all we ever seem to do is fight
    On and on
    And on and on and on

    Once upon a time on the same side.
    Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game
    And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw water on my flame

    I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
    Could've had a castle, and worn a ring
    But no, you let me go

    I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
    Could've had a castle, and worn a ring
    But no, you let me go

    And stole my star
    La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
    You stole my star
    La, la la la la la

    Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh-oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    'Cause you really hurt me
    No you really hurt me
    'Cause you really hurt me
    No you really hurt me
    'Cause you really hurt me
    Oh you really hurt me, oh
    'Cause you really hurt me
    Oh you really hurt me Writer/s: Brian Peter George Eno, Christopher Anthony John Martin, Georg Holm, Guy Rupert Berryman, Jon Thor Birgisson, Jonathan Mark Buckland, Kjartan Sveinsson, Orri Pall Dyrason, William Champion
