I Will Never Love Again
Norma Jean Martine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smile and say it's all right
I want you to stay like I need you in my
So I don't look in your eyes
Cause I don't believe in goodbyes
All I can see are the things that should have been
I say I won't
Cause I will never love again
Cause I gave you all of love I had
Let me cry just a little bit cry just a little bit longer
Till I can sleep
Cause I will never love again
The blinds on my heart won't shut
I try not to miss you too much
You gave me light when the world was in the dark
I'll always feel your touch
But that's not enough to save us
God only knows if you're seeing the same stars
You say let go
You say I won't
Cause I will never love again
Cause I gave you all of love I had
Let me cry just a little bit cry just a little bit longer
Till I can sleep
Cause I will never love again
Look me in the eye
Cause I won't let you say goodbye
Cause I'll never love again
Cause I gave you all of love I had
Let me cry just a little bit cry just a little bit longer
Till I can sleep
Cause I will never love again
The lyrics of "I Will Never Love Again" by Norma Jean Martine touch upon the raw emotions that arise after the end of a relationship. The singer expresses reluctance to let go of her lover and denies the possibility of loving again. She acknowledges that this may be the last time they are together, and while she wants them to stay, she can't look into their eyes because it hurts too much. All she can see are the missed opportunities and what could have been.
The chorus repeats the line "I will never love again" as a statement of finality. The singer believes that she has given all the love she had to her partner, and letting go is not an option. She asks for permission to cry and prolongs her pain until she can sleep. The second verse discusses how her heart's "blinds" are open, and she still yearns for her loved one despite knowing that it won't save their relationship. Norma concludes the song by pleading with her partner to look into her eyes because she won't let them say goodbye, emphasizing her reluctance to let go.
Overall, the lyrics convey the idea of an intense and all-consuming love that ends abruptly, leaving the singer feeling broken and unable to love again.

I think this might be the last time
I feel like we might be breaking up soon
Smile and say it's all right
Pretend like everything is okay, even though it's not
I want you to stay like I need you in my
I need you to stay because I don't want to be alone
So I don't look in your eyes
I can't bear to see you go
Cause I don't believe in goodbyes
I don't want to say goodbye because it feels final and permanent
All I can see are the things that should have been
I'm regretful about what could have been if we stayed together
You say let go
You're telling me to move on
I say I won't
But I can't let go of my feelings for you
Cause I will never love again
I don't think I can ever love anyone else the same way I loved you
Cause I gave you all of love I had
I loved you completely and gave you everything I had
Let me cry just a little bit cry just a little bit longer
I need to keep crying until I can sleep and start to heal
Till I can sleep
I need to cry until I can finally rest
The blinds on my heart won't shut
My heart is still open and raw
I try not to miss you too much
I'm trying to move on and not think about you constantly
You gave me light when the world was in the dark
You brought happiness into my life when everything else felt hopeless
I'll always feel your touch
I'll always remember the physical connection we had
But that's not enough to save us
Our physical connection wasn't enough to make our relationship work
God only knows if you're seeing the same stars
I wonder if you're thinking of me and looking up at the same stars
Look me in the eye
I want you to confront me directly
Cause I won't let you say goodbye
I can't handle the finality of saying goodbye
