Forever and Never
Secrets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So here's my honest opinion
I think we're way past forgiveness
To make up now is a sin, so let me say it again
How could you expect a boy like me
To ever stand a chance against a girl like you?
But don't give up on me just yet

I thought I needed you
But no one needs someone who cant choose
Between true love, or just lust
I guess the worlds not enough

I remember all the days,
Granted, grief and the pain lasted weeks
Hope seemed so out of reach
How could you expect a boy like me
To ever stand a chance against a girl like you?

I thought I needed you
But no one needs someone who cant choose
Between true love, or just lust
I guess the worlds not enough

You always looked better lying on your back
Than you did lying to my face

And I had your back against the wall
You lied through your teeth just to see me fall
So many countless days I spent calling your name
I feel nothing but shame

I thought I needed you
But no one needs someone who cant choose




Between true love, or a fuck
I guess the worlds not enough

Overall Meaning

The song Forever and Never by Secrets is a powerful and emotional track that is likely to resonate with anyone who has ever been in a tumultuous and complicated relationship. The lyrics explore the singer's feelings of betrayal and heartbreak after a relationship ended badly. The song begins by painting a picture of a relationship that has gone so far off the rails that forgiveness is no longer an option. The singer acknowledges that they are no match for their former partner, a girl who they describe as being too much for them to handle.


From there, the song delves into the damage that the relationship has caused. The singer realizes that they thought they needed their partner, but in reality, no one needs someone who can't choose between true love and just lust. Furthermore, the lyric "You always looked better lying on your back than you did lying to my face" shows that the singer understands that their former partner was not truthful with them, and that their physical connection may have been more important than their emotional connection.

Overall, Forever and Never is a raw and poignant examination of the pain that can come from a relationship that is not built on mutual respect and honesty.


Line by Line Meaning

So here's my honest opinion
I'm going to be straight with you


I think we're way past forgiveness
I don't think we can fix this


To make up now is a sin, so let me say it again
Trying to reconcile now is wrong, so I'm going to say it once more


How could you expect a boy like me
You can't really expect someone like me


To ever stand a chance against a girl like you?
To compete with someone like you?


But don't give up on me just yet
But please don't give up on me


I thought I needed you
I used to think I couldn't live without you


But no one needs someone who cant choose
But nobody needs a person who can't decide


Between true love, or just lust
Between real love and just physical attraction


I guess the worlds not enough
I suppose the world doesn't have everything we need


I remember all the days,
I still remember all those times


Granted, grief and the pain lasted weeks
Even though the sadness and hurt lasted for weeks


Hope seemed so out of reach
I didn't have much hope at the time


You always looked better lying on your back
You always seemed happier when you were relaxed


Than you did lying to my face
Than when you were being dishonest with me


And I had your back against the wall
I had backed you into a difficult situation


You lied through your teeth just to see me fall
You purposely lied to make me fail


So many countless days I spent calling your name
I spent so many days calling out for you


I feel nothing but shame
Now I just feel embarrassment and disappointment


Between true love, or a fuck
Between real love and just sex
