Never Ever
The Rubens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never ever, you never ever had the heart to say it right
With my phone turned off, it makes no sound
But you said you needed space
'Cause your phone's turned off, I come around
'Cause I just need to say
I swear I never ever, but that's just what you do
I could try to make it better, but that's just how it is
When you hurt somebody, love someone
But I like you better from afar
I think we're better off apart
You called it payback
You only say that with my brother in your bed
You think you're clever
Would I be better fucking someone else instead?
With my phone turned off, it makes no sound
But I still hear your voice
'Cause you're so turned off, I come around
'Cause you leave me no choice
I swear I never ever, but that's just what you do
When you love somebody, love someone
I could try to make it better, but that's just how it is
When you hurt somebody, love someone
(I like you better)
I'm feeling better already, you'd do better to forget me
(I like you better)
Right from the moment you left me, now it don't bother me any
I swear I never ever, but that's just what you do
When you love somebody, love someone
I could try to make it better, but that's just how it is
When you hurt somebody, love someone
I swear I never ever, but that's just what you do
When you love somebody, love someone
I could try to make it better, but that's just how it is
When you hurt somebody, love someone
I swear I never ever, but that's just what you do
When you love somebody, love someone
I could try to make it better, but that's just how it is
When you hurt somebody, love someone
I think you broke my fucking heart
The Rubens's song Never Ever is about a failed relationship and the aftermath of emotional pain. The lyrics suggest that the person singing never intended to catch their partner in a lie, but somehow, they did. The partner never had the courage to express their feelings truthfully to the person they were with which resulted in the lied-to partner feeling hurt and betrayed. The song uses a phone metaphorically, symbolizing the distance between the two people in the relationship.
The chorus is about how people make mistakes, hoping to make amends and move forward in a relationship, but sometimes a mistake can break the trust and ultimately ruin the relationship. The singer conveys the message that he would try to make it better, but that’s just how things work with love; sometimes, you hurt somebody by accident.
The song's pre-chorus mentions how the singer thinks he may have done better if he had chosen someone else. Still, he opts to separate, as he believes that they will be better off separated. Ultimately, the singer concludes, "I think you broke my fucking heart," acknowledging that losing the relationship and the trust that went with it had been devastating.
