Never Love
Fool's Promise: Unraveling the Deception in 'Never Love' by Steph Chambers
Lyrics
You told me
You were honest with me
You’re sorry
You expressed regret
For all the things you did
Apologizing for your actions
And all the things you said
Regretting the words spoken
All the time you spent
All the moments invested
With her and her oh and her
Time spent with multiple others
You said girl I love you
Professed love to someone else
And I’ll be the one who
Assured commitment and care
Cares for your heart
Promised to cherish the heart
Said I’ll do my part
Committed to fulfilling your role
Whoa you promised
An emphasized promise
This time it
Stated it would be different
Would be different
A belief in a changed outcome
But it takes a fool to learn
Realization that learning often comes from foolish mistakes
That you ain’t never love
Realization that genuine love was absent
You ain’t never love nobody
Affirmation that no genuine love was given to anyone
And it takes a fool to learn
Understanding that recognizing this truth requires foolishness
That you will never love
Realization that love won’t be given
You will never love me
Understanding that personal love won’t be received
My girls kept calling
Friends warned about the situation
Tryna give warnings
Friends attempted to alert
Saying girl stop it
Advised to cease involvement
Cause he ain’t the one
Assertion that the person isn’t suitable
He ain’t the one
Repeated confirmation of unsuitability
And you deserve all the
Belief that deserving of abundant love
Love you could dream of
Desire for an abundance of affection
And somebody’s waiting
Acknowledgment of someone else waiting to offer love
To give you what you want and more
Understanding that love involves giving more
Cause that’s what loves for
Definition of love’s purpose
Not to be played with
Realization that love shouldn’t be toyed with
Or just to be laid with
Emphasis on not trivializing love
You are amazing
Acknowledgment of the person’s greatness
But you can not change him
Realization of the inability to change the person
He promised
Reiterated promise of change
This time it
Belief in the potential for a different outcome
Would be different
Reiteration of faith in changed behavior
And I believed in him
Personal belief in the promise
But it takes a fool to learn
Recognition of the need for foolishness to understand
That you ain’t never love
Reiteration of absence of genuine love
You ain’t never love nobody
Confirmation of absence of love given to anyone
And it takes a fool to learn
Understanding the need for foolishness to realize personal lack of love
That you will never love
Belief in the absence of personal love
You will never love me
Recognition of personal lack of love received
