Not Again
Gavn! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to Gavn!'s song "Not Again" revolve around the theme of a person who has experienced heartbreak and is hesitant to fall in love again.
In the first verse, the lyrics suggest that the person feels that they are not meant to love in a certain way, possibly due to past experiences. They also hint at the possibility that they are the ones to blame for their current situation. The lyrics emphasize the idea of protecting a lonely heart by keeping it closed off from potential pain.
The pre-chorus reflects the person's feeling of hopelessness and the notion that there is no point in pursuing love in either direction. This could imply a sense of resignation towards love and relationships.
The chorus highlights the destructive nature of love and its ability to bring both joy and sadness. The lyrics convey that everything eventually burns down in flames, including tears, laughter, and love, suggesting that love inevitably leads to hurt. The lines also express a sense of acceptance towards this outcome and a refusal to waste time on love that will only end in pain.
The second verse portrays the person stripping away their emotional guard, baring their bitter and wounded self. It implies that love has let them down in the past, leading them to continually find themselves in dark and unhappy places. The lyrics suggest that any love the person may have left is now solely their own, perhaps indicating a sense of self-reliance.
The pre-chorus reiterates the idea that the person takes responsibility for their lack of success in love, indicating some personal growth or self-realization.
The bridge section features repetitive lines emphasizing the person's inability and unwillingness to fall in love again. It serves as a moment of emotional declaration, reinforcing their decision to protect themselves from further heartbreak.
The final chorus reaffirms the idea that love always ends in flames, posing no surprise as it seems to be a predetermined aspect of their experiences. It again emphasizes the person's refusal to waste their time on love that will lead to pain.
The outro serves as a final statement, emphasizing the person's resolve to not fall in love again. The repetitive lines assert their determination to guard their heart from potential hurt.
Overall, "Not Again" captures the struggles and emotional barriers a person faces after going through heartbreak, illustrating their reluctance to open themselves up to love once more. The lyrics showcase a sense of caution and self-protection, underlining the impact of past experiences on one's willingness to engage in new romances.

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
