The Roc Project / Tina Arena 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 Roc Project and Tina Arena's song "Never" is a breakup anthem that talks about moving on from a past relationship. The song begins with the singer stating that they cannot be with their ex-partner again and does not want to be reminded of the good times they shared. Instead, they want to learn from their mistakes and ensure that they never feel those same intense feelings again. The chorus of the song emphasizes that the singer has moved on and will not be crying or trying to love their ex-partner again because their love is "so past tense." The second verse makes it very clear that the singer does not want to hear about how their ex-partner has changed and how they have improved themselves because this time, the singer has changed, and they will not go back to feeling helpless and deceived in the relationship. The song ends with the singer stating that they won't even be friends with their ex-partner because they do not want to fall back in love with them.

The line “ I don’t even wanna be, Your Friend” is so powerful 🖤

Still listening in August 2020. This song brings back a lot of memories of the 2003-2004 era. I miss that time.

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.
