Never Again
Clarkson Kelly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope the ring you gave to her
Turns her finger green
I hope when you're in bed with her
You think of me
I would never wish bad things
But I don't wish you well
Could you tell
By the flames that burned your words
I never read your letter
'Cause I knew what you'd say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try make it all OK

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
But it sucks
To see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew
Exactly what you would do
And don't say
You simply lost your way
She may believe you
But I never will
Never again

If she really knows the truth
She deserves you
A trophy wife, oh, how cute
Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes
And he's through with you
And he'll be through with you
You'll die together, but alone
You wrote me in a letter
You couldn't say it right to my face
Well, give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
But it sucks
To see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew
Exactly what you would do
And don't say
You simply lost your way
She may believe you
But I never will
Never again

Never again will I hear you
Never again will I miss you
Never again will I fall to you
Never
Never again will I kiss you
Never again will I want to
Never again will I love you
Never

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there
But it sucks
To see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew
Exactly what you would do
And don't say
You simply lost your way
They may believe you
But I never will
I never will




I never will
Never again

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Again" by Kelly Clarkson tells the story of a woman who was hurt badly by a former partner. The song conveys the message of anger, betrayal, and sadness. The opening lines are about wishing bad things upon the ex-partner and hoping that the ring he gave to the new woman turns her finger green. She wants the ex to remember her when he is in bed with the new woman. The woman does not want to wish bad things upon him, but it is difficult for her to wish him well after the pain he caused her.


The lyrics go on to express the frustration and disappointment felt by the woman for being the last to know about the breakup. The anger is palpable in lines like "And don't say you simply lost your way, they may believe you, but I never will." Despite the pain and betrayal, the woman says that she never wants to be with her ex-partner again. She will never hear, miss, fall, kiss, want, or love him again.


In summary, "Never Again" is a powerful story of heartbreak, betrayal, and finally, resilience. It is a song that speaks to anyone who has ever been hurt in a relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

I hope the ring you gave to her Turns her finger green
I wish the ring you gave to her, serves as a reminder of the wrong that you did, and that it hurts her so much that it turns her finger green.


I hope when you're in bed with her You think of me
When you are with her, I want you to remember me and feel guilty for what you did, and never be able to enjoy those moments with her.


I would never wish bad things But I don't wish you well Could you tell
I wouldn't wish harm on anyone, but I also wouldn't wish you the best in your new relationship. I hope you can sense the lack of sincerity in my well wishes.


By the flames that burned your words I never read your letter 'Cause I knew what you'd say
I saw the letter you wrote to me, but I burned it because I know what it contained; it was just a bunch of excuses and empty apologies that I didn't want to hear.


Give me that Sunday school answer Try make it all OK
You can try to apologize all you want with empty words and cliches, but it will never make everything right or fix what you did.


Does it hurt To know I'll never be there But it sucks To see my face everywhere
It may be painful for you to know that I'll never be a part of your life again, but it's also difficult for me to see your face or even hear your name everywhere I go.


It was you Who chose to end it like you did I was the last to know
You made the decision to end the relationship, and you did it in a way that blindsided me. I had no idea that it was coming and was the last to find out.


You knew Exactly what you would do And don't say You simply lost your way She may believe you But I never will
You made a conscious decision to end our relationship and you knew exactly what you were doing. So don't pretend that you simply lost your way. Others may believe your lies, but I never will.


If she really knows the truth She deserves you A trophy wife, oh, how cute Ignorance is bliss
If the woman you are with now really knows the truth about what you did, then she deserves to be with you. She is just another accessory to your shallow and manipulative lifestyle.


But when your day comes And he's through with you And he'll be through with you You'll die together, but alone
One day, when your current relationship falls apart (as it will), you will be left alone with no one to turn to, and no one to love you. You will be together, but completely alone.


You wrote me in a letter You couldn't say it right to my face Well, give me that Sunday school answer Repent yourself away
You wrote me a letter telling me that you wanted to end the relationship, but you lacked the courage to do it in person. Now, you're trying to repent with fake apologies and insincere regrets, but it won't change anything.


Never again will I hear you Never again will I miss you Never again will I fall to you Never
I will never again allow myself to hear your voice, miss you, or fall for your manipulations. Never again will you have power over me.


Never again will I kiss you Never again will I want to Never again will I love you Never
I will never again be intimate with you, nor will I ever want to be. I will never allow myself to love someone like you ever again.


They may believe you But I never will I never will I never will Never again
Others may believe your lies and manipulations, but I see through them and I know the truth. I will never believe or trust you again.

[Verse 1]
I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green
I hope when you're in bed with her, you think of me
I would never wish bad things, but I don't wish you well
Could you tell, by the flames that burned your words?

[Pre-Chorus]
I never read your letter
'Cause I knew what you'd say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try and make it all ok

[Chorus]
Does it hurt to know I'll never be there?
Bet it sucks, see my face everywhere
It was you, who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew exactly what you would do
And don't say, you simply lost your way
She may believe you, but I never will
Never again

[Verse 2]
If she really knows the truth, she deserves you
A trophy wife, oh, how cute
Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes, and he's through with you
And he'll be through with you
You'll die together, but alone


[Pre-Chorus]
You wrote me in a letter
You couldn't say it right to my face
Give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away

[Chorus]
Does it hurt to know I'll never be there?
Bet it sucks, see my face everywhere
It was you, who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew exactly what you would do
And don't say, you simply lost your way
They may believe you, but I never will
Never again

[Bridge]
Never again will I hear you
Never again will I miss you
Never again will I fall to you
Never
Never again will I kiss you
Never again will I want to
Never again will I love you
Never


[Chorus]
Does it hurt to know I'll never be there?
Bet it sucks, see my face everywhere
It was you, who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew exactly what you would do
And don't say, you simply lost your way
They may believe you, but I never will
I never will, I never will, never again

“If she really knows the truth
She deserves you
A trophy wife, oh, how cute
Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes
AND HES THROUGH WITH YOU
AND HE’LL HE THROUGH WITH YOU
You'll die together, but alone”
a banger.

Why is no one commenting on her acting skills? She's an incredible actress in every single music video. Great performer. It's always believable.

@thebalance555

Might be a great politician too.

@gamesps9562

Because her music is more impressive than pretending for a video.

@destinygraham2230

I miss when music videos had something to do with the song lol
