about
Never Again tells a tale that we are all too familiar with, the betrayal of someone you thought you could trust. Going through an endless cycle of being put down, gaslit and the victim of the rumour mill as a woman. Regretful and angry with putting trust in someone who you thought was your friend, who you thought would keep you safe. This single aims to take that power imbalance and remodel it to empower people, telling them it's okay to be angry and to be unapologetic about it.
lyrics
Thanks for the friend
Thanks for the bed
Can’t see my hands
Slept with my shoes on
Wish I didn’t have to prove it
Wish I didn’t have to prove it
Thanks for the hand
Tucked into bed
I feel so sick
Just want to sleep
Wish I didn’t have to prove it
Wish I didn’t have to prove it
Chorus
I wouldn’t have stayed
If I knew you’d be this way
Put my trust in them
Never again
Your so highly rated
And I’m super hated
Put my trust in them
Never again
Thanks for the drinks
You haunt my dreams
Now I’m waking up
Still in my makeup
Wish I didn’t have to prove it
Wish I didn’t have to prove it
Thanks for the lift
You slipped it in
Clench my eyes closed
Where are your clothes
Wish I didn’t have to prove
Wish I didn’t have to prove it
Chorus
I wouldn’t have stayed
If I knew you’d be this way
Put my trust in them
Never again
Your so highly rated
And I’m super hated
Put my trust in them
Never again Bridge
Never ah again
Never ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhh
Chorus
I wouldn’t have stayed
If I knew you’d be this way
Put my trust in them
Never again
Your so highly rated
And I’m super hated
Put my trust in them
Never again
