Never Again

(album: UGLY - 2023)

My shadow
Stayed on the wall, I walked away
I never thought I'd see you again

24 hours passed
Another day, oh my God
I never thought I'd see you again

When I was waiting for the penny to drop
I looked down and there you were
Stuck to my feet
You're still with me
I never thought I'd see you again

Seen your parents in the supermarket
They said, "Hey, how you doing?"
"I'm good, thanks for asking"
"How's thingy doing"
"Yeah, she's pregnant and she's arguing
Screwing 'cause Stuart's been out late partying"
"Who's Stuart? Haven't seen her in a while"
"It's her baby dad, it's kinda sad
He barely cracks a smile
You might know the lad, he's big and bad
Back from the Isle"
"The Isle of Sheppy?
That boy must be wild"

Still got pictures on my phone
I still sleep on your side of the bed
I reflect on things I should forget
The things I should've said, I wish I did

The other day I tried look the other way
But you clocked me eyes locking
I didn't know what I should say
Yeah, she pushed a pram
Like she pushed her men away
And she's always aggravated, same expression on her face
And she had the nerve to question me and tell me that I've changed
And she said, "You got the best of me and all you did was blame"
I laugh and say, "Babe, please can you refrain?"
She said, "You think you're special with your likkle man chain"

I was shocked, but I couldn't be fucked
So I thought of my friends And said, "Baby, move on"
She said "I love you, and I'm proud that you became
Everything you said you would before we was done
I know it don't mean much, but you make me beam up
And I hope you get everything you ever dreamed of"
Taken aback like a cat grabbed my tongue
Then she grabbed up the pram and in a blink she was gone

I walked away
I walked away
I walked away
I walked away

I was in the barbers, listening to the gossip
On the news a local girl was murdered by her husband
They had two kids, and they both had drug problems
2 seconds it didn't register and then I felt worried
I hurried to my phone, butterflies in my stomach
I rang her older bro he started screaming
I said, "What's up?"
He couldn't get the words
So I hung up then I jumped up
I ran to the block
There was flowers on the shop front
I dropped to my knees, then I seen a pretty picture
The one she cut me out that was still up on her Insta
Winter Wonderland, eating walnuts in December
Every day remember like the 5th of November

Still got pictures on my phone
I still sleep on your side of the bed
I reflect on things I should forget
The things I should've said, I wish I did

Still got pictures on my phone
I still sleep on your side of the bed
I reflect on things I should forget
The things I should've said, I wish I did

I walked away
