Never Say Never
Fades Away Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Told to look at it one way
You will fit the mold of cookie-cut hypocrisy and lies
You see right through love
No one understands you
No one takes the time to show you
That you're beautiful inside
You've got no place to hide
When the day is all over
We'll turn our backs on the world
He'll call a witness to the stand
And He swears he won't say a word

If you can reach my hand
We'll disappear together
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
We'll fade into the night
And hope that you'll remember
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again

All the faces, they don't see
Looking deeply through the mirror
With their tainted set of eyes
You can't help but know
Such a lonely ending
Ignorance is bliss when
All that's left is superficial life
We're the same, you and I

When the day is all over
We'll turn our backs on the world
He'll call a witness to the stand
And he swears he won't say a word

If you can reach my hand
We'll disappear together
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
We'll fade into the night
And hope that you'll remember
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say
Say Goodbye

We'll look back in time and wonder

If you can reach my hand
We'll disappear together
(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
We'll fade into the night
And hope that you'll remember




(Say goodbye forever)
Never say never say never again
