Du sa, du skulle stanna kvar
Jag skulle ge allt om du var här
I mörkret hos mig där du mig lär
Hur man älskar igen
Aldrig igen,kommer du va hos mig
Men du finns här inom mig jag saknar dig än
Aldrig igen ser jag dig,aldrig igen
Vi, vi gjorde allt vi sa,aha
Du va, som ingen jag haft sen
Jag skulle ge allt om du var här
I mörkret hos mig där du mig lär
Hur man älskar igen
Aldrig igen,kommer du va hos mig
Men du finns här inom mig jag saknar dig än
Vi hade nåt'som kan va svårt att förstå,men
Aldrig igen ser jag dig,aldrig igen

The Swedish lyrics of Friends' song "Aldrig Igen" translate to "Never again" in English. The song is about a person who is haunted by the memories of a former lover they lost, who promised to stay but never did. The first verse talks about dreaming of this person and how the singer would do anything to have them back. In the second verse, the singer talks about how they had something special with this person that they struggle to understand, but they miss them terribly. However, despite the intense longing for their former lover, the singer acknowledges that they will never be with them again.
The chorus repeats "aldrig igen," or "never again," as a way of accepting that the relationship is over and that they must learn to live without this person in their life. The song is emotional and heartbreaking, as the singer mourns the loss of a love they thought would last forever. Overall, the lyrics capture the pain and confusion of losing someone important to you and the struggle to move on after that loss.
