The Roc Project's first album was released in early 2004 and, with the record label issues finally cleared up, Tina Novak appears as the vocalist on all tracks but "Never". The group's second single, "Deja Vu", was released in the spring of 2004 and has since become a smaller club and dance hit than "Never".
Never
The Roc Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(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 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 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.

I can't be with you again
Don't remind me of the good times we had
Learned a lot from us since then
And I never want these feelings to ever come again
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see my trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
Please don't tell me that you've changed
Don't wanna hear of how you've lost your evil ways
A lot has changed, this time it's me
And I won't go back to feeling helpless and deceived
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see my trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see my trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
To think that 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 wanna be your friend
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see my trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense
You'll never hear me crying
You'll never see my trying
To love you once again
Your love is so past tense

2008 rok lato , . Pamiętne czasy,pamiętna nutka ,która nie będzie nigdy zapomniana.👍Powroty do domu o poranku z baletów piszo kilka km. Piękne wschody słońca przy tym. Ciepłe poranki,śpiewające ptaki do tego. To były wyjątkowe lata .Dzisiaj są to wspomnienia i to jakie. Wystarczy właczyć sobie np tą nutke😊nie jedna impreza człowiekowi sìę przypomina. Wtedy inaczej grali na imprezach . Wiadomo że wszystko pędzi do przodu. Ale warto właczyć sobie stare dobre klasyki.

Podpinam się ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
