How Lyrics

Look, you're standing alone,
(Standing alone)
However I should have known,
(I should have known)
Never before,
Never again,
You will ignore,
I will pretend.
Never before,
Never again,
You will ignore,
I will pretend.
In your world you're alone in your face.
You're alone in your world.
You're alone in your face.
How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone.
Now, you're just walking away,
(Walking away)
When you said you always would stay,
(Always would stay)
Never before,
Never again,
You will ignore,
I will pretend.
Never before,
Never again,
You will ignore,
I will pretend.
In your world, you're alone in your face
You're alone in your world.
You're alone in your face.
How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone.
Never before,
Never again,
You will ignore,
I will pretend.
In your world you're alone in your face.
You're alone in your world.
You're alone in your face.
How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone.
How you said you never would leave me alone, oh.
How you said you never would leave me alone, lone.

Great song...wish it would've been included on the "Empire Records" soundtrack...definately worthy of it...good stuff.

this has to be one of my favorites songs, i can't get enough of it. Dolores' voice is just so powerful. and the way the music's composed it's absolutely intense.

I think she's cheered up a bunch since "everyone else", and "faithful departed". Her note on "Wake up and smell the coffee" (which is just great) reflects how she has come to understand life a little better since the early days. I really enjoyed the rhythym they had on this first album, and "no need to argue" as well; the 'berries were just fabulous, I hope they tour sometime soon!

If you play a hundred rhythm I'll distinguish this goes for The Cranberries.. this song is pure The Cranberries.. I love this verse: Never before, Never again, You will ignore, I will pretend. & she repeats this over & over.. :x
