Never Again
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a war of attrition and I won't stay
Nothing could change what you've done
Nothing can change the way I feel
You will never, be forgiven
Nothing can what you've done
Nothing can change the way I feel
You are dead to me, and I won't hear what you've done
You have made your grave, now make your peace
Nothing can what you've done
Nothing can change the way I feel
You will never, be forgiven
Nothing can what you've done
Nothing can change the way I feel
I hope you suffer as I have suffered
Never again will I be contrived
Never again will you crush me
Unforgiven, Unforgiven
Remember these words, remember my face
?
Nothing can what you've done
Nothing can change the way I feel
You will never, be forgiven
Nothing can what you've done
Nothing can change the way I feel
I hope you suffer as I have suffered
This is what you deserve
