Never for Nothing
Jason Chen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you in the crowd
And I’m losing my mind, losing my mind trying to figure out.
Tell me where do we stand now?
Baby, I’m dying, dying just trying to figure out.

So if we’re falling apart now and we’re going down
Baby, don’t make a sound, don’t, don’t make a sound.
I’ve been wanting to tell you right here and now
Baby, let’s make this count, I wanna make this count.

Even if we don’t get through this night
Just know that it was never for, never for nothing.
Cause every second spent with you feels so right
Just know that it was never for, never for nothing.

Take my heart, it’s still yours
Don’t wanna leave this love dying on the floor.
Cause we’re into deep now
And if we walk out, baby, we close another door.

So if we’re falling apart now and we’re going down
Baby, don’t make a sound, don’t, don’t make a sound.
I’ve been wanting to tell you right here and now
Baby, let’s make this count, I wanna make this count.

Even if we don’t get through this night
Just know that it was never for, never for nothing.
Cause every second spent with you feels so right
Just know that it was never for, never for nothing.

Now I’m losing it all and you’re drifting away
I wanna stay by your side even for one more day
I can still stand tall, I will still be okay
Even if we fall, even if you don’t stay.

It was never for nothing, never for nothing,
Never for nothing, no.
It was never for nothing, never for nothing,
Never for nothing, oh.

Even if we don’t get through this night
Just know that it was never for, never for nothing.




Cause every second spent with you feels so right
Just know that it was never for, never for nothing.

He is such an under credited singer / writer (if he writes). I love his songs!

rickyrgh

+AlyandSavannah Most if not all of his original songs are either self written or Co-Written with others - so the answer is a resounding Yes that he does write songs including this one I believe.   Initially he did a bit of co-written work with others but he’s gone solo now, in fact for a few years now.  All in all I believe he has written more
songs on his own than the ones with others.
