Never Gonna Work
Unraveling Inevitability: "Never Gonna Work" Reflection
Lyrics
I can feel you running
Perceiving your departure
Out the door
Watching you leave
I can see things going
Observing situations turning negative for me
South on me
Things going wrong for me
But I know
Despite this,
And we know
Acknowledgment that both parties understand
It was never gonna work
Recognition that the relationship was doomed from the start
Never gonna work
Reiteration that it wasn't going to succeed
It was never gonna work
Confirming the impossibility of the relationship working
Never gonna work
Restating the belief that it won't work
Can I go without you
Uncertainty about continuing without the partner
I don't know
Expressing doubt about managing without the partner
Say something to me babe
Requesting communication from the partner
I don't know
Uncertainty about receiving a response
But I know
Despite uncertainties,
And we know
Both parties acknowledging the inevitable failure
It was never gonna work
Realization that the relationship was doomed from the start
Never gonna work
Reiterating the failure of the relationship
It was never gonna work
Confirmation of the impossibility of success
Never gonna work
Restating the belief in the relationship's failure
I never thought it'd play
Surprise at how things unfolded
Out like this
Unexpected turn of events
Eleven white doves your kiss
Symbolism of affection with 'eleven white doves'
On my lips
Recalling the partner's kiss
But you knew
Acknowledgment that the partner knew
All along
Acknowledgment of the partner's prior awareness of failure
It was never gonna work
Realization that the relationship was doomed from the start
Never gonna work
Reiteration that it wasn't going to succeed
It was never gonna work
Confirming the impossibility of the relationship working
Never gonna work
Restating the belief that it won't work
It was never gonna work
Emphasis on the inevitability of failure
Never gonna work
Reiteration of the impossibility of success
It was never gonna work
Acknowledgment of the relationship's futility
Never gonna work
Repeating the belief in the relationship's failure
