Never Again
Brink-of-Time Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I'd be fine
If I never saw you again
I don't mind, I'm fine
It really isn't hard to pretend
I'm fine

There's no one quite like you
I hate that I like you
But when I'm inside you
There's nothing I won't do

Try to resist
But it's simply no use
Your delicate wrist
Got my neck in your noose

And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone away
Yeah, you're no, no, no good for me

I know I'd be fine
If I never saw you again
I don't mind, I'm fine
It really isn't hard to pretend

I've got a hundred different voices in my head
Yeah
And they all say I don't need you like I did
I know that I'd be fine if I never saw you again
'Til I see you again

And I will not shed a tear
For the death of us, my dear
'Til the blood that's on my hands
Fits the face that's in the mirror

And it all brings me back to you
Brings me back to you
And it all brings me back to you
Brings me back to you

I know I'd be fine
If I never saw you again
I don't mind, I'm fine (I'm fine)
It really isn't hard to pretend

I've got a hundred different voices in my head
Yeah
And they all say I don't need you like I did




I know that I'd be fine if I never saw you again
'Til I see you again

They have a multitude of voices in their head, representing their conflicting emotions and thoughts about moving on.

Indeed, you are not beneficial to me in any way

Until the moment I lay eyes on you once more

Until the blood that stains my hands


Fits the face that's in the mirror
Matches the visage reflected in the mirror


And it all brings me back to you
And it all reminds me of you


Brings me back to you
Recalls my connection to you


I've got a hundred different voices in my head
In my mind, I have an abundance of conflicting thoughts


And they all say I don't need you like I did
And every single one of them asserts that I no longer require you as I did before

I am aware that I would be emotionally stable if I never encountered you again


'Til I see you again
Until the moment I lay eyes on you once more
