Never Again
Michelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Next time gonna rise above to a whole new level
Never gonna let myself settle till I get the love I need

Last time, gave it all up to a rebel
Lied to my face like the devil had a hold on me

Never Again, Never Again oh up oh up
Never Again, Never Again

I hear you talk and talk with what you’re trying to say
But I could hear you comin’ from a mile away

I use to be that girl that you’re looking for but never, never, never,
Never Again
Never Again
Never Again
Never Again
Neva, Neva, Neva

Back up this ain’t a game that you can play with
I deserve a man real and committed mad in love with me
Move on if all you want to do it mess around
Think I’ll give it up just cuz you’re down?
You won’t get nothing from me

Never Again, Never Again oh up oh up
Never Again, Never Again

I hear you talk and talk with what you’re trying to say
But I could hear you comin’ from a mile away

I use to be that girl that you’re looking for but never, never, never,

I hear you talk and talk with what you’re trying to say
But I could hear you comin’ from a mile away
I use to be that girl that you’re looking for but never, never, never,
Never Again
Never Again
Never Again
Never Again
Neva, Neva, Neva, Neva

Miguel Fasa Baby (rap from Miguel Fasa – no need to do this part)
Never again, letting you in cuz you to me for granted after all that we’ve been through
I couldn’t see it happen back in the past
But you got one thing wrong if you thinkin’ I won’t last
Cuz I gave you my heart and you broke it now nobody’s home
You mad? That’s too bad, you did it all on your own
As the story unfolded all the lies that you told,
Did you really think I’d want to see your face anymor’
Woke up, realized what I could be
Guess it took my second breath in life for me to just see that
All the loving and hating and fighting the fire igniting remembering all of the times we had I use to be so exciting
I use to think my greatest fear was dying alone
But realized that someone like you destroying my home
I’m gone

I hear you talk and talk with what you’re trying to say
But I could hear you comin’ from a mile away
I use to be that girl that you’re looking for but neva, neva, neva,

I hear you talk and talk with what you’re trying to say
But I could hear you comin’ from a mile away
I use to be that girl that you’re looking for but neva, neva, neva,

Never Again
Never Again




Never Again
Neva, Neva, Neva, Neva

This song dropped during my most recent relapse on alcohol and the lyrics hit me in a very different way. I spent most of the day kind of crying over how relatable the lyrics were even though they have a different meaning to me.

Never again, never with you (Never again with alcohol)
I wanna rewind and undo (I want to rewind and undo this relapse)
Start at the end, try something new (Start at the end of this relapse, try sobriety)
I wanna go back in time with you (I want to go back in time with my relationship with alcohol)

I thought I knew you better than this (I thought I knew myself better)
I never should've let you back in (I never should have relapsed)
I gave you the key and I let you into my head (I let this drug into my head and gave it full reign)
I thought I knew you better than this ^^^^^


Day six of sobriety.



@Merakispace

Never again, never with you
I wanna rewind and undo
Start at the end, try something new
I wanna go back in time with you

I thought I knew you better than this
I never should've let you back in
I gave you the key and I let you into my head
I thought I knew you better than this

So never again, never with you
I wanna rewind and undo
Start at the end, try something new
I wanna go back in time with you

I thought I knew you better than this
If this is just a game, then you win
I gave you my all and you left me out for dead
I thought I knew you better than this

So never again, never with you
I wanna rewind and undo
Start at the end, try something new
I wanna go back in time with you

So never again, never with you
I wanna rewind and undo
Start at the end, try something new
I wanna go back in time with you

I thought I knew you better
I thought I knew you better
