October 17, 201114 yr edited lyrics Ooooooohh... Once upon a time somebody ran Somebody ran away singing as fast as they 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 whoa-oh, oh whoa-oh. Once upon a time, we're burning bright. Then 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 out all of my flame I could’ve been a Princess, You'd be a King Could’ve had a castle, and worn a ring But noooooo, you let me gooooooo I could’ve been a Princess, You'd be a king Could’ve had a castle, and worn a ring But noooooo, you let me gooooooo And stole my Star. la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la You stole my star la, lalala la laaaaaaaaaaa. [instrumental] Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh Oooooooh-oh oh oooooooh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhhh Cause you really hurt me you really hurt me Cause you really hurt me you really hurt me Cause you really hurt me Ooooooooh you really hurt me Cause you really hurt me Ooooooooh you really hurt me
October 17, 201114 yr Oh thank you both for the lyrics *_* i read somewhere it was "on a reign" instead of "worn a ring",i'm not sure which one it is :(
October 17, 201114 yr thanks for both of the lyrics. The only line i'm not sure about is "And why’d you have to go have to go and throw out all of my flame/throw it all in my face" I don't think it's "face" because rihanna doesn't sing the "ce" part. I think it's either: "And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw it all on my fame" "And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw water on my flame" "And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw it all on my flame"
October 17, 201114 yr The lyrics indicate a falling out between two people.As in the running order Up In Flames would be next.For those of us who have heard Up In Flames I think the two songs fit perfectly as Up In Flames starts off with the "So its over" line. You can see part of the concept in these two songs.

I clearly hear "water". I absolutely love the lyrics to this song. As always, Coldplay knows just how to get to me lyrically.
October 17, 201114 yr snip Those lyrics are wrong in a few places. I have a good ear for Rihanna, these are the lyrics, I'm 99% sure: Once upon a time somebody ran, Somebody ran away saying "fast as I can" I got to go. I got to go. Once upon a time we fell apart, you hold it your hands, the two halves of my heart. Oh-ho. Once upon a time we weren't right, and all we ever seemed 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 and the same game. Now why'd you have to go? Have to go and throw water on my flame. I could have been a princess, you'd be a king. I could have had a castle and worn a ring but no, you let me go. I could have been a princess, you'd be a king. I could have had a castle and worn a ring but no, you let me go. You stole my star, la, la, la la... You stole my star, la,la,la,la.... 'Cause you really hurt me Oh you really hurt me 'Cause you really hurt me Oh you really hurt me 'Cause you really hurt me Oh you really hurt me 'Cause you really hurt me You really hurt me. ----- Like I said, I listen to quite a lot of Rihanna and a lot of people are misinterpreting the lyrics based on her accent. "Water on my flame" is correct, I'm sure. It also matches the rhetoric expressed in Up in Flames. And Chris normally keeps themes consistent throughout CP albums.
October 17, 201114 yr Once upon a time we weren't right, I believe you have most of the lyrics down to the letter! Great job! It's just this line I'm not too sure about. When I listen to it, I continue to hear "One upon a time we're burning bright". And it fits with the later line of "throw water on my flame".
