Never Gonna Get It
Marion Raven Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've changed
I've changed for better
I've changed
I've changed for good

I wish I could spend time with you
So you can see I'm not the girl you used to know
Who I was back then it seems so long ago

(Chorus)
Never Gonna Get It, Never Gonna Get It
Ever get it back
It's all for the better and it's doesn't matter
It was all we had
Every single minute, when I had you in it is a memory
Sometimes it's good to just let it be

I've grown
Can you believe it?
I've grown
I stand so tall

I wish that I could show you how
So you can see I'm not the girl you used to know
Who I was back then it seems so long ago

(Chorus)

Tonight I'll be my own company
Tonight...
