Never Again
Dora Alex Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It could be a lot worse than I thought
You brought a shock across where you came from
I quietly ignored
Writing you a letter or two but
Had the chance to know that you moved on

You don't need me no more
I can see but I've been blinded

I can speak but I can't talk
I can read what you've been writing
But I don't get it at all

Another broken heart
A dramatic failure
Say all these excuses like we're making a difference
You may feel defeated
I feel so cheated
For all that I care we'll never the same again
Again

I can see but I've been blinded
I can speak but I can't talk
I can read what you've been writing
But I don't get it at all

Another broken heart
A dramatic failure
Say all these excuses like we're making a difference
You may feel defeated
I feel so cheated
For all that I care we'll never the same again
Another broken heart
A dramatic failure

You may feel defeated
I feel so cheated
For all that I care we'll never the same again
Again, again

Writing you a letter or two but
Had the chance to know that you moved on
