Lyrics
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Expression of emotional distress or anguish
Once upon a time somebody ran
At a certain time, someone fled or departed
Somebody ran away saying fast as I can
Someone left quickly, possibly in haste
I got to go
Sense of urgency to leave
I got to go
Reiteration of the urgency to depart
Once upon a time we fell apart
In the past, a separation occurred
You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart
Metaphorical reference to a broken relationship
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Expression of emotional anguish
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Repetition of emotional distress
Once upon a time we burned bright
Previously, there was a vibrant connection
Now all we ever seem to do is fight
Current state of constant conflict
On and on
Continuation of conflict
And on, and on, and on
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of conflict
Once upon a time on the same side
Historical unity or alliance
Once upon a time on the same side, in the same game
Formerly, both parties collaborated in a common cause
Now why'd you have to go?
Questioning the reason for causing distress
Have to go and throw water on my flame
Accusation of sabotaging a positive situation
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Imagining a different, grander life together
Could've had a castle and worn a ring
Envisioning royalty and commitment
But no, you let me go
Regret at losing the envisioned life
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Reiteration of the lost opportunity for royalty
Could've had a castle and worn a ring
Repetition of the missed chance for grandeur
But no, you let me go
Regretful acknowledgment of the missed chance
You stole my star
Metaphorically expressing a loss or theft of something valuable
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Repetitive melodic lines without direct lyrical meaning
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-La, la, la, la
-You stole my star
-La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
-Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Repetition of emotional distress
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
-'Cause you really hurt me
Repeated emphasis on the pain caused by someone's actions
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
-'Cause you really hurt me
-Oh, you really hurt me
