Never Say Never
Faith Betrayed: Unraveling the Beautiful Deception in Sinai Beach's 'Never Say Never'
Lyrics
Now, what's this?
Expressing surprise or disbelief about a change or situation.
That can't be the girl that I once knew.
Questioning if the person has changed significantly.
Did your eyes fool your heart,
Raising doubts about the sincerity or authenticity of the person's emotions.
Or did your heart fool your beliefs?
Questioning whether emotions or beliefs led to the change.
Now I watch you eat your words.
Observing the person facing the consequences of their words or actions.
Please tell me that it's not the girl that I once knew.
Expressing a hope or desire that the person hasn't truly changed.
The promise was made to always hold true;
Referencing a broken promise to remain true to oneself or others.
But you said, "I'll never."
Recalling a statement of defiance or refusal ("I'll never").
Well I guess that old saying is true,
Acknowledging the truth in the saying "Never say never."
"Never say never."
Highlighting the irony of going back on one's faith or principles.
You take steps back in your faith,
Describing regression in faith for the allure of physical attraction.
Just to get the kiss of a pretty face.
Choosing superficial pleasure over steadfast beliefs.
Never say never.
Reiterating the idea that one should not dismiss possibilities outright.
Now I watch you eat your words,
Observing the consequences of going against one's principles.
How did they taste?
Asking about the outcome or impact of the person's actions.
Now knowing you has become ironic.
Expressing the ironic nature of knowing the person now.
A woman so wonderful, a face so beautiful.
Admiring the positive qualities of the person despite negative feelings.
But I hate to look upon it,
Expressing aversion to facing the reality of the person's change.
Because it reminds me of what once was,
Linking the person's current state to a past version of themselves.
What was once you.
Reflecting on what the person used to be.
That can't be the girl I once knew.
Repeating the disbelief about the person's transformation.
A woman so wonderful,
Reiterating admiration for the person's positive qualities.
A face so beautiful,
Emphasizing the physical beauty of the person.
I pray you'll be her again.
Expressing a hope for the person to return to their former self.
