It feels weird to juxtapose being bitter and bad with something kind of upbeat and fun, but that’s kind of how I wanted to wrap up this feeling – li...
[Intro]
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
[Verse 1]
You used to make me feel bad (Feel bad)
Every time you came around (Came around)
But the way I used to feel for ya
Oh, that's six feet underground, ground (Six feet underground)
I heard you doing shitty now
Put a smile on my face (Put a smile on my face)
One year, two months, three days
Damn, what a waste (What a waste)
[Pre-Chorus]
All of my time that I let you take
Looking back, wow, what a big mistake
All of the games that I let you play
I guess I just have bad taste
[Chorus]
My three little words felt smaller everyday
If you didn't mean it, why'd you say it to my face?
How am I supposed to trust somebody ever again?
You crushed my confidence, my whole world
And now I can't imagine saying those words
How am I supposed to feel like I used to back then?
I'll never say, "I love you," again
[Post-Chorus]
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
I'll never say, "I love you," again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
[Verse 2]
I gave you every little part of me
Yeah, I swear I tried (Swear to God, I tried)
But all you ever really seem to do
Was fuck around and waste my time (My time)
[Pre-Chorus]
All of my time that I let you take
Looking back, wow, what a big mistake
All of the games that I let you play
I guess I just have bad taste
[Chorus]
My three little words felt smaller everyday
If you didn't mean it, why'd you say it to my face?
How am I supposed to trust somebody ever again?
You crushed my confidence, my whole world
And now I can't imagine saying those words
How am I supposed to feel like I used to back then?
I'll never say, "I love you," again
[Post-Chorus]
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
I'll never say, "I love you," again
Again, again, again
Again, again, again
[Bridge]
All of my time that I let you take
Looking back, wow, what a big mistake
All of the games that I let you play
I guess I just have bad taste
My three little words felt smaller everyday
If you didn't mean it, why'd you say it to my face?
How am I supposed to trust somebody ever again?
[Chorus]
You crushed my confidence, my whole world
And now I can't imagine saying those words
How am I supposed to feel like I used to back then? (Back then, back then)
I'll never say, "I love you," again
[Outro]
Never say it, I'll never say it
Never say it, I'll never say it (Never say, "I love you," again)
Never say it, I'll never say it
Never say it, I'll never say it (Never say, "I love you," again)

It felt like the right thing to pair this sad feeling with a fun upbeat song. I usually use humour to cope with pain and sadness so it felt very real the way the track is the opposite of what I’m trying to say. I’m a dramatic person at times especially when it feels like the end of the world so this...
