Never Again

[Verse 1]
Thought you were the last first time
Said forever from the back of that car
You were tracing little hearts on my arm
Now I trace them on the label of this bottle
All your sweaters in a cardboard box
I still talk to you when I pass that spot
Same bar sign
Same crooked door
Same cheap drink
Chasing what we were before
[Chorus]
So I drink the pain away
Till your name gets blurry
Till our song just sounds like noise
Till the room stops turning slowly
I was ready for a life with you
You were ready for the end
Now my glass is the only thing I hold
I swear I’ll never love again
(I swear I’ll never love again)
[Verse 2]
Your best friend said you “needed space”
Did you find yourself in someone else’s bed
While I checked my phone every half hour
Typing out “I miss you” just to delete it again
Mama said this ache will fade
But it’s 3 am and it still feels the same
Every sip’s another *what if*
Every shot’s another promise I won’t fix
[Chorus]
So I drink the pain away
Till your name gets blurry
Till our song just sounds like noise
Till the room stops turning slowly
I was ready for a life with you
You were ready for the end
Now my glass is the only thing I hold
I swear I’ll never love again
(I swear I’ll never love again, oh)
[Bridge]
Friends say “heal
Give it time”
But they never saw your eyes
They never watched you close that door
Leave your key on my kitchen floor
I don’t want another almost
Another “maybe” in my bed
If this is what love feels like
I’d rather feel regret instead (yeah)
[Chorus]
So I drink the pain away
Till your name gets blurry
Till our song just sounds like noise
Till the room stops turning slowly
I was ready for a life with you
You were ready for the end
Now my glass is the only thing I hold
I swear I’ll never love again
I swear I’ll never love again
(never, never love again)

Moody guitar trap ballad, male vocals. Intimate fingerpicked intro that blooms into spacious drums and sub-bass on the first chorus. Verses stay close and confessional with dry vocal, subtle pad swells; chorus lifts with layered harmonies and a wider stereo image. Bridge strips to guitar and distant reverb, then final chorus hits harder with ad-libs and a longer tail on the snare.
