Not Again
Gavn! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

VERSE 1
Maybe I’m not meant to love this way
And maybe I only have me to blame
But you can’t break a lonely heart
If it’s closed off from the start
So maybe I’m not meant to love this way

PRE 1
When I feel like there’s no point either way

CHORUS 1
Cause when all goes down
It all goes down in flames
All the tears, the laughs, the love
Burned down the same

No surprise, it’s by design,
And I won’t waste my God damn time
I can’t fall in love no not again

VERSE 2
Strip down to my bitter flesh & bones
Oh it’s the only place love ever let me go
And when I listen to my heart
I always end up in the dark
Now any love that I have left, well that’s just
my own

PRE 2
And in the end I know
It’s my fault

CHORUS 2
Cause when all goes down
It all goes down in flames
All the tears, the laughs, the love
Burned down the same

No surprise, it’s by design,
And I won’t waste my God damn time
I can’t fall in love no not again

BRIDGE
(oh, oh, oh)
(oh, oh)
I can’t fall in love no not again
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
I can’t fall in love no not again

CHORUS 3
Cause when all goes down
It all goes down in flames
All the tears, the laughs, the love
Burned down the same

No surprise, it’s by design,
And I won’t waste my God damn time
I can’t fall in love no not again

OUTRO
And I can’t fall in love no not again




I can’t fall in love no not again
I can’t fall in love no not again

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe I’m not meant to love this way
Perhaps I am not destined to love in this manner


And maybe I only have me to blame
And it is possible that I am solely responsible for this


But you can’t break a lonely heart
However, it is impossible to shatter a heart that is detached and isolated


If it’s closed off from the start
When it has remained guarded from the very beginning


So maybe I’m not meant to love this way
Therefore, perhaps I am truly not suited for love in this manner


When I feel like there’s no point either way
During moments when I perceive a lack of purpose in any direction


Cause when all goes down
Because when everything collapses


It all goes down in flames
Everything descends into utter destruction


All the tears, the laughs, the love
Every single instance of sorrow, joy, and affection


Burned down the same
Destroyed in the exact same manner


No surprise, it’s by design
Not astonishing, as it is intentional


And I won’t waste my God damn time
I refuse to squander my precious minutes


I can’t fall in love no not again
I cannot allow myself to experience romantic love once more


Strip down to my bitter flesh & bones
Expose myself in my harsh, resentful state


Oh it’s the only place love ever let me go
Oh, it is the sole location where love has ever abandoned me


And when I listen to my heart
And when I heed the voice of my own heart


I always end up in the dark
I consistently find myself in a state of darkness


Now any love that I have left, well that’s just my own
Now, any remaining love that I possess is solely my own


And in the end I know
And ultimately, I am aware


It’s my fault
That it is entirely my responsibility


And I can’t fall in love no not again
And I am unable to allow myself to experience romantic love once more


And I can’t fall in love no not again
And I am unable to allow myself to experience romantic love once more


I can’t fall in love no not again
I cannot allow myself to experience romantic love once more
