We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Lyrics
I remember when we broke up the first time
Saying this is it, I've had enough
It's like, we haven't seen each in a month
When you said you needed space
What?
Then you come around again and say
Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, I hate you, we break up
You call me, I love you
Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever.
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right
And you, hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Ooh, you called me up again tonight
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I used to think that we were forever ever
And I used to say "Never say never"
So he calls me up and he's like
"I still love you" and I'm like... I'm just...
This is exhausting, you know?
We're never getting back together
Like ever.
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Saying this is it, I've had enough
It's like, we haven't seen each in a month
When you said you needed space
What?
Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change
Trust me
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, I hate you, we break up
You call me, I love you
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
And me falling for it, screaming that I'm right
And you, hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
And I used to say "Never say never"
"I still love you" and I'm like... I'm just...
This is exhausting, you know?
We're never getting back together
Like ever.
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together

I've got an inkling this is about the end of a relationship.
haha how droll. Really? Literally 3 people just said the same thing......

In this great song, whose quality suggests anywhere from weeks to months of rigorous preparation to perfect, the singer conveys her frustration at an unnamed lover's attempts to rekindle a relationship, skillfully doing so in the patois of someone who has hit puberty not too long ago and is engaged in the epic struggle of a high school relationship. The use of quotation marks representing actual dialogue sprinkled with asides ("what?" for example) and even a hint of sarcasm in some lyrics ("I'm really gonna miss you picking fights") in an overall choppy presentation brings the magnitude of aforementioned high school drama to the listener in a way that could very well change your life. The chorus is an affirmation of her irrevocable and total rejection of the former lover: no matter how much "[talking]" occurs in the form of rumors or excuses or slandering, the repetition of the word "ever" after "never" confirms the relationship is over. The sampling of a real-time conversation near the end of the song, once again, brings the complexity and gravity of the singer's heart-rending dilemma right to you.
Stunning. You somehow captured the essence of the song, and thereby captured the essence of nothing. Truly, you understood the depths of Ms. Swift's pain, and laid it bare for all of us. Helluva song. I can only compare it to Abba's "Money Money Money" for it's absolute frankness. Girl meets boy, girl buys boy, girl tires of boy, throws him away, writes shitty song about it, fucks some guy at a gay bar, hit song. Amazing.

The main character of this song (not necessarily T. Swift) is telling us this tale. However, instead of feeling sorry for her, she comes off pathetic for putting up with the mistreatment.
And consider the dumpee's point of view of the guy. He obviously didn't think that much of the main character. He used her (when it was convenient for his schedule) and then got HER to break things off - he didn't have to be the bad guy. So the main character is sure to slander him. She is stuck on all the things he did. He probably moved on while she can't yet.
We've got the same story in "White Horse"!!! but more in a tragic way, u see, in "white horse" ur not happy about it at all, because u want ur 1st love be the best one forever, but in "We R ..." there is no such sadness, 'cause if this guys out, then another comes in 15 minutes! I like "white horse" more!
i think its a song about harry styles:"your records are much cooler than mine"
It sure sounds like the type of song that you would sing just days before getting back together after another breakup.
i mean this might be totally far fetched, and i may or may not have, no idea what i am talking about ....BUT...i think this is a song after a break up........ ;)
this song is about how you are never ever ever ever getting back with that person :P
All I have to say about this song is that a guy I know asked me if I knew who she wrote this song about. I said I don't really keep up on that sort of thing, and he said that neither does he, but whoever it is, he is sure they will soon be releasing a reply in the form of a song called "Thank God!"
This one hits really close to home with me...I dated a girl for a portion of 2012...and she and I would break up for a few weeks, only to have her texting me, and emailing me begging to take her back...like a fool, I would, and then it was always the same thing...we break up. I just hope that she is happy without me in her life, because I am so over her, and all the crap that she put me through.
