I'll Never Love Again
Lyrics:
[English]
Wish I could, I could've said goodbye
I would've said what I wanted to
Maybe even cried for you
If I knew, it would be the last time
I would've broke my heart in two
Tryin' to save a part of you
Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name falling off my lips
Don't wanna to give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love again
I'll never love again, ooh
...
When we first met
I never thought that I would fall
I never thought that I'd find myself
Lying in your arms
And I want to pretend that it's not true
Oh baby, that you're gone
'Cause my world keeps turning, and turning, and turning
And I'm not moving on
Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name falling off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love
I don't wanna know this feeling
Unless it's you and me
I don't wanna waste a moment, ooh
...
And I don't wanna give somebody else the better part of me
I would rather wait for you, ooh
...
Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
Baby, unless they are your lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
Oh, I'll never love again
Love again
Oh, I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I wouldn't want to swear I can
I wish I could but I just won't
I'll never love again
I'll never love again, oh
...

Grammar:
-
Wish I could, I could've said goodbye
➔ Past Conditional (Wish + Past Simple/Past Perfect)
➔ Expresses regret about something that didn't happen in the past. "Wish" + "I could" indicates a desire for a different past action. "I could've said goodbye" uses the conditional perfect, indicating the speaker regrets not having said goodbye.
-
If I knew, it would be the last time
➔ Second Conditional
➔ Hypothetical situation in the present/future. "If" + Past Simple (I knew), "would be" + base form of the verb. It expresses an unreal or unlikely situation. It implies that the speaker didn't know.
-
I would've broke my heart in two
➔ Conditional Perfect (would have + past participle)
➔ Expresses a hypothetical past action and its result. The speaker implies that they would have intentionally broken their heart, but it didn't happen because they didn't know it was the last time.
-
Don't wanna feel another touch
➔ Informal Contraction & Negative Imperative
➔ "Wanna" is an informal contraction of "want to". "Don't" combined with the base verb creates a negative imperative, expressing a strong desire *not* to do something.
-
No other name falling off my lips
➔ Present Participle as an Adjective
➔ "Falling" is a present participle acting as an adjective describing the "name". It implies the action of the name leaving the lips is happening at the present moment or habitually.
-
Or let another day begin
➔ Bare Infinitive after 'let'
➔ The verb "let" is a causative verb, meaning it causes something to happen. After "let", we use the base form of the verb (bare infinitive) without "to".
-
I'll never love again
➔ Future Simple Negative
➔ "I'll" is a contraction of "I will". Combining "will" with "never" before the verb expresses a strong intention or determination *not* to do something in the future.
-
I wouldn't want to swear I can
➔ Conditional with negative intention
➔ "Wouldn't want to" expresses unwillingness to perform an action. It softens the refusal and indicates a preference for avoiding a situation. "Swear I can" implies making a promise about one's ability to do something (in this case, to love again), which the speaker is not willing to do.
