Never Again
贾斯汀Justin Timberlake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess it's true what they say about love
It's blind
Girl, you lied straight to my face
Lookin' in my eyes
And I believed you 'cause I loved you more than life
And all you had to do was apologize
I don't understand
You don't care that you hurt me
And now I'm half the man
That I used to be when it was you and me
You didn't love me enough
My heart may never mend
And you'll never get to love me again
Sadness has me at the end of the line
Helpless, I watched you break this heart of mine
Loneliness only wants you back here with me
Common sense knows that you're not good enough for me
And all you had to do was apologize and mean it
But you didn't say you're sorry
I don't understand
You don't care that you hurt me
And now I'm half the man
That I used to be when it was you and me
You didn't love me enough
My heart may never mend
And you'll never get to love me
Wish like Hell I could go back in time
Maybe then I could see how
Forgiveness says that I should give you one more try
But it's too late
Its over now
You didn't say you're sorry
I don't understand
You don't care that you hurt me
And now I'm half the man
That I used to be when it was you and me
You didn't love me enough
My heart may never mend
And you'll never get to love me again
Again
Again, again, again
Never get to love me
The lyrics of Justin Timberlake’s song “Never Again” speak of a heartbreak that was caused by a lover who lied to him. The first stanza expresses how the singer was willing to give up his life for his lover, but she betrayed him by lying straight to his face. He trusted her because of his love, and all she had to do was apologize when caught in her lie, but she did not. The chorus states that he is now half the man he used to be when he was with her, further emphasizing how the heartbreak has affected him.
In the second stanza, the singer expresses how his heart may never mend from the pain she caused him. He feels sad and helpless, but there is a part of him that still wants her back – loneliness. However, he understands that apart from what he feels, he knows that his lover is not good enough for him. Forgiveness is suggested, but it is too late, it’s over now. The chorus reiterates that she did not love him enough, and he’ll never give her the chance to love him again.
The lyrics of this song show that love can be blind, but sometimes, it is the lies that cause the damage. When you lie to your partner, even if it is just a white lie, it can break the trust that has been built, which can lead to heartbreak. Hence, the song warns against deceitfulness and encourages honesty in relationships.

Would have given up my life for you
I was willing to sacrifice everything for you
Guess it's true what they say about love
Love can be blind and deceive you
Girl, you lied straight to my face
You deceived me without any remorse
Lookin' in my eyes
I trusted you with everything I had
And I believed you 'cause I loved you more than life
My love for you blinded me to the truth
And all you had to do was apologize
All you needed to do was show some remorse
You didn't say you're sorry
You didn't even bother to apologize
I don't understand
I fail to comprehend your actions
You don't care that you hurt me
You don't seem to realize the pain you've caused me
And now I'm half the man
You've destroyed a part of me that I'll never get back
That I used to be when it was you and me
I was a different person when we were together
You didn't love me enough
Your love for me was never strong enough
My heart may never mend
The pain you've caused me may never go away
And you'll never get to love me again
You've lost your chance to be with me forever
Sadness has me at the end of the line
I'm at my lowest point because of you
Helpless, I watched you break this heart of mine
I couldn't do anything as you shattered my heart
Loneliness only wants you back here with me
Despite everything, I still long for your love
Common sense knows that you're not good enough for me
My mind tells me that we're not meant to be together
Wish like Hell I could go back in time
I wish I could turn back the clock and undo my mistakes
Maybe then I could see how
Perhaps I would have realized the truth in time
Forgiveness says that I should give you one more try
I know I should forgive you and give you another chance
But it's too late
But it's too late for us to try again
Its over now
Our relationship is over for good
Again, again, again
I'll never let you love me again
Never get to love me
You've lost your chance to love me forever
