Never Again
Bill Monroe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The stars up in the sky remind me of your eyes
And the way they use to gaze into mine
The moon up above brings back memories of love
I thought was true and so divine

So never again, oh never no more
Never again will I knock upon your door
Never again but these words I can say
I'll try not to love and stay out of your way

We had the greatest start but deep within your heart
You led me on before I knew the score




You cheated and you lied I stayed right by your side
Until one day simply closed the door

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bill Monroe's song Never Again speak of heartbreak and disappointment in love. The imagery used in the first verse is particularly striking, comparing stars in the sky to the eyes of someone the singer loved, and invoking memories of a love that was once thought to be "true and so divine." However, as the chorus reveals, the singer has been hurt and is resolved to not pursue this person any longer. The lyrics speak to the common experience of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate, or who betrays the trust that was given to them.


In the second verse, the lyrics touch on the pain of feeling betrayed and the difficulty of moving on. The singer is acknowledging that they were "led on" and that the relationship was not as honest as they thought. The line "I stayed right by your side" speaks to the loyalty and commitment that the singer had given to this person, despite their behavior. But ultimately, the relationship ended and there is a sense of resignation in the lyrics as the singer admits that they will "try not to love and stay out of your way."


Overall, the lyrics of Never Again are simple but poignant, and capture the universal emotions of heartbreak, loss, and the struggle to move on from a failed relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

The stars up in the sky remind me of your eyes
I associate heavenly objects with you


And the way they use to gaze into mine
You used to look at me lovingly


The moon up above brings back memories of love
Even the moon reminds me of our love


I thought was true and so divine
I imagined our love was pure and sacred


So never again, oh never no more
I will not make the same mistake twice


Never again will I knock upon your door
I will not seek you out again


Never again but these words I can say
I vow to say


I'll try not to love and stay out of your way
I'll try to avoid getting close to you


We had the greatest start but deep within your heart
Our love began amazingly, but in your heart...


You led me on before I knew the score
You deceived me without me knowing


You cheated and you lied I stayed right by your side
You were unfaithful, yet I stood by you


Until one day simply closed the door
Until one day, you shut me out of your life
