Never Again
Percy IV Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I threw a penny in the fountain
Same one that I’m gon’ drown in
These wishes never seem to come around and
I’m feeling so surrounded, by thoughts saying never again
I miss you, fuck that, never again
Tell myself that you were never a friend
I don’t wanna do this thing ever again
No never again, no never again
It makes it easy when you hate me right
And everything makes sense when you can blame me right
Instead of solving problems you just blame me
I tried to help you out and solve em why’d you play me
Girl, hey, why’d you play me
Talking bout how you loved me on the daily
Saying shit that made me happy just to play me
Then betray me, saying everything's my fault, way to blame me
When you, can’t see what I’ve done, and you try to pretend
It’s all my fault, I’m the one who was never your friend
Well I’m done playing games I won’t ever again
No never again, No never again
I threw a penny in the fountain
Same one that I’m gon’ drown in
These wishes never seem to come around and
I’m feeling so surrounded, by thoughts saying never again
I miss you, fuck that, never again
Tell myself that you were never a friend
I don’t wanna do this thing ever again
No never again, no never again
Thinking back to the late nights
When you’d tell me what you want
Talking bout’ Gucci shoes and Saint Laurent
Talking bout’ I’m everything that you want
I don’t really know how you can mean both at the same time
It don’t help that you don’t pick up when I face time
And when I’m with you girl you always try to waste time
But when you need me girl I always fucking make time
Its not fair on me its not fucking fair
How can somebody you care about be so hard to bear
How can I let go of someone who’s never even there
The person that I care about doesn’t even care
I threw a penny in the fountain
Same one that I’m gon’ drown in
These wishes never seem to come around and
I’m feeling so surrounded, by thoughts saying never again
I miss you, fuck that, never again
Tell myself that you were never a friend




I don’t wanna do this thing ever again
No never again, no never again
