Here we are, a careful distance.
Here´s my heart, what´s left of it.
In this town, I used to listen…
Once, once, yeah…

I had hope, blind faith
Had as much as you could take.

I´m only gonna let you kill me

Once, once, once, yeah… (x3)

I´m only gonna let you kill me once.

Ashes burn the morning after.
Only know I´m here to stay.
I was so, I let you see me.
That was dumb, but that´s OK.
Tripping down to your place.
What is love anyway?

I´m only gonna let you kill me

Once, once, once, yeah… (x3)

I´m only gonna let you kill me once.

Who or whatever you do
Don´t let anyone hurt you,
Touch them where it hurts
And watch them leave…

I´m only gonna let you kill me once,
I´m only gonna let you kill me then some,
I´m only gonna let you kill me

Once, once, once, yeah… (x3)

I´m only gonna let you kill me once. (x2)
