A soft, smart smile from across the room
But subtlety looks bad on you
Come kiss me like you have something to prove
My eyes were begging, like a dog on all fours
I wanna be yours, so ready your claws to leave your marks on me
And so here we are now
You put your fingers to my mouth
I said, "Don't you dare say it out loud"
But when have you been one to listen?
You put me up on the bench in the kitchen
And it slips from your mouth
You're in love with me now
You said it once, only once
I'm the love of your life
It hit me right in the ribs
Like a meteorite
Only once, but it was once
And once was enough
You were ready to fight
I was ready to love
I let you see my wounds
And my scars, and my skin
'Cause you promised me the world
And your heart and sins
You did more than scratch the surface of my ice
So, God, it killed me when you gave me up last night
You said it once, only once
I'm the love of your life
It hit me right in the ribs
Like a meteorite
Only once, but it was once
And once was enough
I was ready to fight
You were ready to run
Ready to run
Ready to run
You said it once, only once
I'm the love of your life
It cut me right through the bone
When you twisted the knife
Only once, but it was once
And once was enough
You weren't ready to fight
I was ready to love
You said it once, only once
I'm the love of your life
You struck me right in the soul
Like an arrowhead might
You loved me once, but, God, it cuts
'Cause I wasn't enough
I was ready to fight (Only once)
You weren't ready to love
