Lời bài hát​

Once was a time you and I

Made a promise 'til the day we die

I trusted each and every word

Never thinking that I'd get burned

Silly me, I believed in your fairy tales

Boy, I thought that I knew you so very well

But you walked on my pride, all the tears that I cried

And it cuts like a knife

It's the last time you're ever gonna kiss these lips

Or ever will deceive these eyes

Believe me when I tell you this

Baby boy, it's the last time

I'm ever gonna cry these tears

I'm never gonna hear your lies

So listen while I make it clear

In case you didn't hear

This time's the last time, there's no time to give it one more try

There's only time to say goodbye

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, now this song is through

The things you said, I can never forget

The things you did fill my heart with regret

But I'm still standing tall as I walk away

And you'll know that it's true when you hear me say

It's over, it's through

Ain't a thing you can do, boy

It's sad, but it's true

It's the last time you're ever gonna kiss these lips (It's the last time)

Or ever will deceive these eyes (Ever will deceive these eyes)

Believe me when I tell you this

Baby boy, it's the last time

I'm ever gonna cry these tears

No, I'm never gonna hear your lies (Hear your lies)

So listen while I make it clear (Make it clear)

In case you didn't hear

This time's the last time, there's no time to give it one more try

There's only time to say goodbye

Goodbye

No, baby

Oh, silly me, I believed in your fairytales

Boy, I thought that I knew you so very well

But you walked on my pride, all the tears that I cried

And it cuts like a knife (Oh, baby, yeah)

It's the last time you're ever gonna kiss these lips (Ever gonna kiss these lips)

Or ever will deceive these eyes

Believe me when I tell you this

Baby boy, it's the last time (It's the last time)

I'm ever gonna cry these tears

I'm never gonna hear your lies (Never gonna hear your lies)

So listen while I make it clear

In case you didn't hear

This time's the last time, there's no time to give it one more try

It's over, it's through

Ain't a thing you can do but wonder why

There's only time to say goodbye

Baby, goodbye

"Cause I" m never gonna, never gonna cry no more

Goodbye, goodbye

Oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh
