When we were together
Time and space stood still
All my secrets shared with you

Best of friends forever
The monsters that were killed
Late at night in my room

How was I to know you'd change your mind one day?
Turn your back on me
Well, all I have to say...

Is: Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Break my heart
And go on without me
But fool me once
I'm not going back
I'm not going backward

Now you're lonely and
You really need a friend
Say you'll cherish me this time

If I give you the chance
To love me once again
You say you'll mend this heart of mine

How was I to know you'd change your mind one day?
Turn your back on me
Well, all I have to say...

Is: Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Break my heart
And go on without me
But fool me once
I'm not going back
I'm not going backward

And this time if I let you
Stay
Will you leave again some-
Day?
I'm growing stronger by the
Day
You don't deserve me any-
Way...

Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Break my heart
And go on without me
But fool me once
I'm not going back
I'm not going back

Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Fool me once
I'm not going backward
Break my heart
And go on without me
But fool me once
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
I'm not going back
I'm not going backward
