Never Again
Tom Cooper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's making both of us sad
You're gonna try to attack
Before the sun down
The feeling's weighing me down
We pass the blame all around
You said you wish I was dead
And then you walked out
Nothing ever changes
You still wanna play this
And I'm like
Oh what am I gonna do
You got control of my head
I'm going over the bend, ah
Lost now
And I know you wanna work this out
Oh caught in a mess
I'm over my head
Can't do this again, nah
This time won't break apart
You ain't leaving me scarred
Ooooooh
I'll never do this again, yeah
Ooooooh
Not after you hurt me, yeah
I never deserved this, yeah
I'll never do this again, yeah
Ooooooh
I'll never do this again
Yeah yeah
I'm conflicted I've been tripping out
Said I don't need love
That's just a bluff
'Cause I can't live without it
Oh can I just be real
Look at you I feel some way that I thought I could never feel
Yeah
You played the game and you got good at it
The one that's what you could've been
But you just wanna play with me, yeah
I got one heart but now there's two of it
Been here before I'm used to it
That doesn't make it hurt any less
Lost now
And I know you wanna work this out
Oh caught in a mess
I'm over my head
Can't do this again, no
This time won't break apart
You ain't leaving me scarred
Ooooooh
I'll never do this again, yeah
Ooooooh
Not after you hurt me, yeah
I never deserved this, yeah
I'll never do this again, yeah
Ooooooh
I'll never do this again
This time won't break apart
You ain't leaving me scarred
Ooooooh
I'll never do this again, yeah
Ooooooh
Not after you hurt me, yeah
I never deserved this, yeah
I'll never do this again, yeah
Ooooooh
I'll never do this again

There's something holding me back
I feel restricted by something in my life
It's making both of us sad
This situation is causing emotional pain for both of us
You're gonna try to attack
You will attempt to harm me
Before the sun down
Before the day ends
The feeling's weighing me down
The emotion is burdening me
We pass the blame all around
We both shift responsibility onto each other
You said you wish I was dead
You expressed a desire for my death
And then you walked out
You left abruptly
All night argue with you
We argue throughout the entire night
Nothing ever changes
Our situation remains unchanged
You still wanna play this
You still want to engage in this destructive behavior
And I'm like
And I feel
Oh what am I gonna do
Oh, what actions can I take
You got control of my head
You have power over my thoughts
I'm going over the bend, ah
I am losing my sanity
Lost now
Feeling confused and directionless
And I know you wanna work this out
And I am aware you want to resolve our issues
Oh caught in a mess
Oh, trapped in a complicated situation
I'm over my head
I feel overwhelmed and out of control
Can't do this again, nah

Said I don't need love
I claimed that I don't require love
That's just a bluff
But it's just a lie I tell myself
'Cause I can't live without it
Because I cannot imagine my life without love
Oh can I just be real
Oh, can I be honest
Look at you I feel some way that I thought I could never feel
When I see you, I experience emotions I never thought possible
You played the game and you got good at it
You manipulated the situation and became skilled at it
The one that's what you could've been
The person you could have become
But you just wanna play with me, yeah
But you only want to toy with my emotions
I got one heart but now there's two of it
I originally had one heart, but now it feels divided
Been here before I'm used to it
I have been in this situation previously, so I am familiar with it
That doesn't make it hurt any less
However, the pain is still just as intense
This time won't break apart
This time our relationship won't fall apart
You ain't leaving me scarred
You won't cause lasting emotional damage
I'll never do this again, yeah
I will never repeat this experience
Not after you hurt me, yeah
Not after you caused me pain
I never deserved this, yeah
I did not deserve this treatment
I'll never do this again, yeah
I will never repeat this experience
This time won't break apart
This time our relationship won't fall apart
You ain't leaving me scarred
You won't cause lasting emotional damage
I'll never do this again, yeah
I will never repeat this experience
