“Never Go Back” is a follow-up to the love story in Lloyd’s breakout single “Nevermind”. While “Nevermind” was written about a Colombian woman he fell in love with while living in Bangkok, “Never Go Back” showcases how the story of their love led to an eventual breakup in Israel.
[Intro]
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
[Verse 1]
It's not my baby, not the girl I knew then
Not the girl I know now, anymore
I wanna leave you, "Baby don’t you leave me
Baby don't you love me? Mi amor"
[Chorus]
Always look around girl, try to see the good things
Why you always say that you've never done wrong?
"Why you never hold me? Tell me that you love me
Why you always say that you’d never let go?"
[Post-Chorus]
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
[Verse 2]
I wanna do this, "I don't wanna do this"
Girl, we shouldn't do this anymore"
"Quiero dejarte, no me necesitas?
Por que siempre dices, eso mi amor?"
[Chorus]
Always look around girl, try to see the good things
Why you always say that you've never done wrong?
"Why you never hold me? Tell me that you love me
Why you always say that you'd never let go?"
[Post-Chorus]
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
(I never go back)
[Bridge]
I wanna leave you, wanna leave you
But I can't let go (I can't do it)
I wanna leave you, wanna leave you
But I can't let go (I can’t do it)
I wanna leave you, wanna leave you
But I can’t let go (I can't do it)
I wanna leave you, wanna leave you
But I can’t let go (I can't do it)
[Chorus]
Always look around girl, try to see the good things
(I wanna leave you, wanna leave you)
Why you always say that you never done wrong?
(But I can't let go)
"Why you never hold me? Tell me that you love me
(I wanna leave you, wanna leave you)
Why you always say that you'd never let go?"
(But I can’t let go)
[Post-Chorus]
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Always look around girl, try to see the good things
Why you always say that you've never done wrong?
"Why you never hold me? Tell me that you love me
Why you always say that you'd never let go?"
[Outro]
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back
I never go back, no, no, no
I never go, I never go back

“Never Go Back” is a direct continuation of “Nevermind”. I wrote “Nevermind” when my girlfriend left Bangkok. I was worried she would met someone else. “Never Go Back” was written two days after our breakup.
