Never Again
Spender Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna hope that love that you want to see
So many times, so many ways
So many nights, so many days
All I ever did was try
You never loved, you never gave
You never earned, you never paid
You never dreamed, you never fought
You never grieved, you never gave that much to me
You never loved, you never gave
You never earned, you never paid
You never hoped, never dreamed
Never thought, you never grieved
Never again, never again, never again
We always knew, too much to assume
We rushed right in so innocent
I knew it was a sign
We had to know, how did it go
So simple for while
Until I just had to know
You never loved, you never gave
You never earned, you never paid
You never hoped
You never dreamed, you never fought
You never grieved, you never gave that much to me
You never loved, you never gave
You never earned, you never paid
You never hoped, never dreamed
Never thought, you never grieved
Never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again
Never again, never again

Good tranquil tune to sit down to and listen to. There's also something very mesmerizing about watching someone being hit by a napkin and proceeding to eat a whole cake in reverse. Great job.

This is awesome. I recommend watching while drunk or high. Watching the cake reassemble is so much coooler that way!!!\;;
