Never Say Forever
Clouds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you want to tell beautiful lies
Listen to me
There is a word that you can use
Try it and see
I'll be with you today
Same as yesterday

You would have heard
The other word you shouldn't use
It's never, my friend
That word is so sadly abused

I'll be with you today
Same as yesterday

Never say forever, never say forever
Never say forever, never say forever
Never say forever, never say forever
Never say forever

Make a promise here
Make a promise there
Make 'em everywhere
Break a promise here
Break a promise there
Break 'em everywhere

Never say forever, never say forever
Never say forever, never say forever




Never say forever, never say forever
Never say forever, never say forever...

Overall Meaning

In "Never Say Forever," Clouds urges listeners to avoid using the word "never" when dealing with relationships. Instead, the song encourages people to focus on the present moment and not make promises they cannot keep. Clouds advises against using "forever" in particular, because it can create unrealistic and unsustainable expectations.


The song suggests that "never" and "forever" are often used to tell "beautiful lies" in relationships. The singer acknowledges that there is a temptation to use these words when making promises or expressing love, but argues that they ultimately do more harm than good. By instead focusing on the present moment and avoiding grandiose promises, the singer hopes to build a stronger, more grounded relationship.
