Never Again
Heartbreak Symphony: Xavier Washington's 'Never Again' Unveiled
Lyrics
I thought that we had just begun
I believed our relationship had just started
I thought for sure you were the one, ooh
I was convinced you were the right person for me
(You said that you loved me, loved me)
You expressed love for me
(So why were you running)
Despite your love, you were avoiding commitment
But somehow, I missed all the signs
I overlooked the warning signs
You were never wanted to be mine
You never truly desired to be with me
(I was so foolish, foolish)
I acted foolishly
(How could you do this)
Expressing disbelief at your actions
You got me so up in my head
You occupied my thoughts intensely
Tore out my heart, left me for dead
You broke my heart and left me in despair
I'm still bleeding out from what you said
I'm still emotionally wounded by your words
Never Again
Declaring that the painful experience will never happen again
You knew I wanted more than a friend (More than a friend)
You were aware I desired a deeper connection
If you ain't want me, why pretend (Why pretend)
If you didn't want a serious relationship, why pretend?
(You made me believe it)
You made me believe in a false reality
(You made me feel needed)
You made me feel important and necessary
And still I play your selfish game
I continue to play your selfish emotional game
You lead me on, then walk away
You led me on and then abruptly left
(You made me a promise)
You made a promise to me
(But you were dishonest)
But you were dishonest in keeping that promise
You got me so up in my head
You occupied my thoughts intensely (repeated)
Tore out my heart, left me for dead
You broke my heart and left me in despair (repeated)
I'm still bleeding out from what you said
I'm still emotionally wounded by your words (repeated)
Never Again
Declaring that the painful experience will never happen again (repeated)
But now I finally realized
Realizing that the love we shared was deceptive
The love we had was all a lie
Concluding that our love was a falsehood
But I will never let that happen again, again, again
Determined never to allow such deception again
You got me so up in my head (So in my head baby)
You occupied my thoughts intensely (repeated)
Tore out my heart, left me for dead (Left me for dead baby)
You broke my heart and left me in despair (repeated)
But you'll never get the chance again (Never again)
Asserting that you won't have another chance to hurt
Don't let someone play with your heart (Play with your heart baby)
A warning not to let someone play with emotions
Shut down the games right from the start (Right from the start baby)
Advocating to end emotional games from the beginning
Cause falling in love can tear you apart
A caution about the potential heartbreak from falling in love
