We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
Taylor Swift (泰勒絲) Lyrics

I remember when we broke up, the first time
I recall the initial time our relationship ended

Saying, this is it, I've had enough
Expressing the finality of the situation and a loss of patience

'Cause like we hadn't seen each other in a month
Explaining one reason why the relationship ended initially

When you, said you, needed space (What?)
Recalling a conversation where the other person expressed their need for space

Then you come around again and say
Describing a recurring pattern of behavior from the other person

Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me
The other person asking for forgiveness and promising to change

Remember how that lasted for a day?
Reflecting on how the promise to change from the other person didn't last very long

I say, I hate you, we break up, you call me, I love you
Describing a cycle of breaking up and making up with the other person

But oh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
The artist is trying to make it clear that the relationship is over for good

We are never ever, ever getting back together
Expressing the finality of the situation

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
Acknowledging that people may communicate about the relationship, but it won't change the outcome

But we are never ever, ever, ever getting back together
Restating that there is no possibility of getting back together

I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
Expressing some mixed emotions about the end of the relationship, even though it's for the best

And me, falling for it screaming that I'm right
Admitting that the singer contributed to the negative aspects of the relationship

And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind
Describing a coping mechanism of the other person

With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Joking or teasing about the other person's musical taste

Huh, so he calls me up and he's like, I still love you
Recalling a phone conversation where the other person expressed love

And I'm like I just I mean this is exhausting, you know, like
The singer is feeling drained by the cycle of breaking up and getting back together

We are never getting back together like, ever
Expressing the finality of the situation in a more casual way

But we, are never ever ever ever getting back together
Restating that the relationship is over for good
