Never
Ray Roc Feat. Tina Arena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I'll never......)
(I can't be with you)
I can't be with you again
Don't remind me of the good times that we had
Learn a lot from us instead
I never want these feelings to ever come again

[Chorus]
You'll never here me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense

Please don't tell me that you've changed
Don't want to here on how you've lost your evil ways
The one who's changed this time is me
And I won't go back to feeling helpless and deceived

[Chorus]
You'll never here me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
You'll never here me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
Your love
Your love

To think you had me fooled every now and then
You had me believing that I was the reason that you left
But I won't fall back in love with you again
I don't even want to be
(dont even want to be)
Your friend
Oh no no

[Chorus]
You'll never here me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
You'll never here me crying
You'll never see me trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense





(so past tense)
(your love is so past tense)

The line “ I don’t even wanna be, Your Friend” is so powerful 🖤

@irongrl

Still listening in August 2020. This song brings back a lot of memories of the 2003-2004 era. I miss that time.

@luxsheree04

Judy King 😩 Me too! This song is so nostalgic.

@Sunfloweroneflower

God do I miss those years too 🖤

@nicholasallen5848

Everything seemed so beautiful to me back then. I miss that time of my life so much. The world isn't as bright as it once was.

It should be illegal how underrated this is...

@MarioCortez306

I agree with you

@n1lev

I recently re-discovered Tina. I remember this song. She is criminally underrated. Anyone who says they don't know her or don't like her music should be jailed.
