We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sayin', "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space (what?)
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me"
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, I love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We called it off again last night, but
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
This time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never, ever, ever, ever
Getting back together
Like, ever
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right
And you would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You called me up again tonight, but
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
This time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We (we) are never, ever, ever getting back together
We are never, ever, ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never, ever, ever, ever
Getting back together
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (yeah)
Oh, oh, oh
I used to think that we were forever, ever
And I used to say, "Never say never"
Huh, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you"
And I'm like, "I'm just, I mean, this is exhausting, you know?
Like, we are never getting back together, like, ever"
(No) we are never, ever, ever getting back together
We are never, ever, ever (ooh) getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never, ever, ever, ever
Getting back together
We (ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Getting back together
We (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Getting back together (yeah)
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never, ever, ever, ever
Getting back together
The song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is a catchy breakup anthem performed by Taylor Swift. The song is written from Swift's perspective and is about an on-and-off relationship with a former lover. The lyrics depict a relationship that was tumultuous, with Swift describing the first break-up as the end of the relationship. However, her lover comes back again with promises of change, and the cycle of breaking up and getting back together repeats. Swift points out how exhausting it is to go through the same thing again and again, and finally declares that they are "never ever getting back together."
The chorus of the song is a repetitive declaration that the relationship is over for good. Swift talks about the communication between the two and how the former lover tries to reach out to her through their friends, but Swift is firm in her decision to end the relationship. In the second verse, Swift admits that she's going to miss some aspects of the relationship, such as having heated arguments and falling for it. She also points out that her ex-lover finds his peace of mind in indie music, which is much cooler than her music.
Overall, the song is a relatable and empowering anthem for anyone who has been through an on-and-off relationship and finally declared that it's over for good.

I can't believe she's turning 30 this year! I remember the numerous times my cousin and I would belt this song and not really understand because we were 7.
@dunjaobradovic4761
Jena M sameee 😂
@hellzosoen
저도 믿겨지지가 않네요. 세월이 참 빠릅니다. 20살이었던 테일러 스위프트가 벌써 30살이 다 돼간다니 ㅠㅠ
@isafan3
WHAT 🙀
@Vibingwithannika
Yeah, I miss her country. I don't really like her new style
@miriamthe8390
I refuse to believe that Taylor is turning 30. She's just gon be in her 20's for the rest of her life. There is no way she's turning 30.
