Never
The Roc Project 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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Never" by The Roc Project featuring Tina Arena are about moving on from a past romantic relationship that was toxic and left the singer feeling helpless and deceived. Tina Arena sings about how she can never be with her ex-partner again because she doesn't want to feel those same negative emotions. She encourages her ex not to tell her that they have changed because she has changed too and doesn't want to fall back into the same traps.


The chorus of the song emphasizes how Tina is done crying and trying to love the person again, as their love is in the past tense. The repeated line "your love is so past tense" refers to how the relationship is over and done with, and she doesn't want to revisit it. Tina also talks about how her ex had fooled her into believing that she was the reason for the breakup, but she has come to realize that it was not her fault.


Overall, the song is about the empowerment of recognizing when a relationship is toxic and moving on from it to find a healthier life for oneself.

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.
