Neither One Of Us
Knight Gladys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's sad to think
We're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point
Where we just can't fake it

For some ungodly reason
Just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep wondering
What I'm gonna do without you?
And I guess you must be
Wondering the same thing too

So we go on
Go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

Every time I find the nerve
Every time I find the nerve to say, I'm leaving
Memories, those old memories
Get in my way

Lord knows it's only me
Only know it's only me that I'm deceiving
When it comes to saying goodbye
That a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way, there can be no way
This can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try

Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say





Farewell my love
Goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Neither One Of Us" by Knight Gladys depicts a sad situation of two people who are in a relationship but are struggling to keep it together. It seems like their love for each other is not enough to sustain the relationship as they have reached a point where they can no longer fake it. The lines "And it's gotten to the point where we just can't fake it, for some ungodly reason, we just won't let it be" highlights that they cannot continue pretending that everything is okay, but neither of them wants to be the first one to say goodbye.


The two are caught in a dilemma, battling with their emotions as they wonder what life would be like without each other. The line "I keep wondering what I'm gonna do without you, and I guess you must be wondering the same thing too" expresses the uncertainty and the fear of losing someone they care about. Although they live a lie, pretending that everything is okay, they both know that they cannot avoid the inevitable - saying goodbye.


The lyrics of the song depict a situation that anyone who has experienced a breakup can relate to. It speaks to the difficulty of letting go of someone you love, even when you know it's time to move on. The track's soulful melody and Knight's powerful vocals make the song even more emotional.
