犯錯以後才後悔會不會太晚
就算認錯 就算你說下一次 我不敢
失去容易 哦 回頭真難
日子再壞也必需要走完
哦 在生活中 每一個人
應該有對自己最誠實的那份勇敢
朋友啊 雖然哭泣常常讓人太難堪
其實眼淚也有溫暖
流過淚的你才能慢慢成長
有傷心才會懂得有心歡
喔 抓緊時間 把你感情的帳單
好好去認認真真 一一的清還
為身邊每個人 請不要再怠慢
讓愛火一再點燃 從今我不想
再聽你說 下一次我不敢
失去容易 哦 回頭真難
日子再壞也必需要走完
哦 在生活中 每一個人
應該有對自己最誠實的那份勇敢
朋友啊 雖然哭泣常常讓人太難堪
其實眼淚也有溫暖
流過淚的你才能慢慢成長
有傷心才會懂得有心歡

The lyrics of 'Never Again' by 劉德華 (Andy Lau) convey a message of self-reflection, growth, and the importance of honesty. The lyrics discuss the tendency to make mistakes and regret them after it's too late to make amends. The singer urges us to take responsibility for our mistakes, even if it means acknowledging that we're afraid to try again. The idea that it's easier to give up than to try again and face potential failure is also explored in this song. The lyrics emphasize that while it's difficult to turn back and make things right, it's an important step towards growth and self-improvement.
The chorus of the song conveys the importance of cherishing and nurturing relationships. The singer reminds us to be honest with ourselves and those around us, instead of neglecting their emotions or taking them for granted. The message is clear; we should not abandon or underestimate the potential we have to create deep and meaningful connections with the people around us.
Overall, 'Never Again' is an ode to personal growth and the power of honest relationships. It reminds us to take responsibility for our faults and to value those we love, to be brave in the face of adversity, and to continue to grow and learn from our experiences.
