No More
Pete Murray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He puts his hand down into his pocket
Pulls out a rose and hands it to his girl
She says hey man what you doin' what you sayin'
No, I thought I told you
I don't want you here no more
So go get out of here so I don't see your face
Your the one who used to beat me to love you
And I don't want you back again

No more
No more
No more

Many times did you swing that hand
But did you ever see the bruise you used to leave
I'd spend days I could not go out
Sometimes it would weeks
So don't come back thinking I'm okay
Cause really man, I hate you to the core
You're the most gutless thing I've ever known
Or ever saw

No more
No more
No more

You can't hide the scars
You can't hide the scars

So turn around and just start walking
Cause we got nothing left to say
When you're gone you can be assured
My smile is gonna come back my way
And I'll wipe you from my memory
So you don't exist in my day
But just remember I'll still smell you
A thousand miles away

No more




No more
No more

She is now glad that he's gone and she's starting to heal, and she wants him to know that she still remembers the pain he caused. The chorus repeats the line "No more" multiple times, emphasizing how much she wants to leave the past behind and move on with her life.
