Lyrics
I threw a penny in the fountain
Threw a penny in the fountain
Same one that I’m gon’ drown in
Same place where drowning is anticipated
These wishes never seem to come around and
Wishes made here never materialize
I’m feeling so surrounded, by thoughts saying never again
Feeling overwhelmed by thoughts of never repeating certain experiences
I miss you, fuck that, never again
Rejecting the idea of missing someone
Tell myself that you were never a friend
Convincing oneself that the person was never a friend
I don’t wanna do this thing ever again
Desire to avoid a particular situation in the future
No never again, no never again
Firmly refusing to engage again
It makes it easy when you hate me right
Conflict is easier when the other person expresses hatred
And everything makes sense when you can blame me right
Everything seems logical when blaming oneself
Instead of solving problems you just blame me
Choosing blame over resolution in conflicts
I tried to help you out and solve em why’d you play me
Feeling betrayed despite trying to help
Girl, hey, why’d you play me
Expressing confusion about being deceived
Talking bout how you loved me on the daily
Recalling false declarations of love
Saying shit that made me happy just to play me
Statements that initially brought joy were manipulative
Then betray me, saying everything's my fault, way to blame me
Feeling deceived and unfairly blamed
When you, can’t see what I’ve done, and you try to pretend
The inability of the other person to acknowledge efforts
It’s all my fault, I’m the one who was never your friend
Accepting blame for a failed friendship
Well I’m done playing games I won’t ever again
Determined to stop participating in games
No never again, No never again
Commitment to never repeat past mistakes
I threw a penny in the fountain
Repetition of the desire placed in the fountain
Same one that I’m gon’ drown in
Emphasizing the inevitability of a negative outcome
These wishes never seem to come around and
Continued disappointment in unfulfilled wishes
I’m feeling so surrounded, by thoughts saying never again
Sense of being overwhelmed by thoughts of avoidance
I miss you, fuck that, never again
Reiteration of refusing to miss someone
Tell myself that you were never a friend
Reaffirming the belief that the person was never a friend
I don’t wanna do this thing ever again
Refusal to engage in the same situation again
No never again, no never again
Strong determination to avoid repetition
Thinking back to the late nights
Reflecting on past late-night conversations
When you’d tell me what you want
Recollection of the person's desires
Talking bout’ Gucci shoes and Saint Laurent
Discussion about luxury brands indicating aspirations
Talking bout’ I’m everything that you want
Being claimed as everything desired
I don’t really know how you can mean both at the same time
Confusion over mixed signals
It don’t help that you don’t pick up when I face time
Disappointment in unreciprocated communication
And when I’m with you girl you always try to waste time
Feeling of wasted time when together
But when you need me girl I always fucking make time
Despite being busy, always making time for the person
Its not fair on me its not fucking fair
Frustration over the unfairness of the situation
How can somebody you care about be so hard to bear
Struggling with caring for someone difficult to bear
How can I let go of someone who’s never even there
Difficulty in letting go of someone emotionally absent
The person that I care about doesn’t even care
Realization that the cared-for person doesn't reciprocate feelings
I threw a penny in the fountain
Repetition of the action of throwing a penny in the fountain
Same one that I’m gon’ drown in
Highlighting the anticipation of a negative outcome
These wishes never seem to come around and
Continued disappointment in unfulfilled wishes
I’m feeling so surrounded, by thoughts saying never again
Feeling overwhelmed by thoughts of avoidance
I miss you, fuck that, never again
Reiteration of refusal to miss someone
Tell myself that you were never a friend
Reaffirming the belief that the person was never a friend
I don’t wanna do this thing ever again
Refusal to engage in the same situation again
No never again, no never again
Strong determination to avoid repetition
