Never Say Die Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wasn't it gonna be fun and wasn't it gonna be new?
Wasn't it gonna be different and wasn't it gonna be true?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
[Verse 2]
Weren't you gonna be sorry and weren't you gonna be pure?
Weren't we gonna be honest and weren't we gonna be more?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
[Pre-Chorus]
All you want is to play at playing god
But I'm falling in, I'm falling out
All you need is to play at playing god
And I'm falling in, I'm falling out
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever stop
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
[Verse 3]
Weren't you trying forgiveness and weren't you trying to stay?
Weren't you trying to look up and weren't you trying to pray?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
[Pre-Chorus]
All you want is to play at playing god
But I'm falling in, I'm falling out
All you need is to play at playing god
And I'm falling in, I'm falling out
[Chorus]
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever stop
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
[Interlude]
[Outro]
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)

Wasn't it gonna be fun and wasn't it gonna be new?
Wasn't it gonna be different and wasn't it gonna be true?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Weren't you gonna be sorry and weren't you gonna be pure?
Weren't we gonna be honest and weren't we gonna be more?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
All you want is to play at playing god
But I'm falling in, I'm falling out
All you need is to play at playing god
And I'm falling in, I'm falling out
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever stop
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Never, never, never, ever
Never, ever, ever say die
(Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
Weren't you trying forgiveness and weren't you trying to stay?
Weren't you trying to look up and weren't you trying to pray?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
All you want is to play at playing god

This song is about bailing when you're in a new relationship.
It was promising - it was supposed to be fun and new; it had the hope of being different from all the other people they've been dating. She had a feeling it could be true. That's what he implied and that's what she was hoping for:
"Wasn't it gonna be fun and wasn't it gonna be new? Wasn't it gonna be different and wasn't it gonna be true? Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?"
But at some point his arrogance took over ("to play at playing God") and he stopped looking at her/the relationship and value it as he should have. That killed it for her: "But I'm falling in, I'm falling out".
When he kinda bailed - maybe by wanting to continue dating other people while still seeing her - she declared she's definitely out. She was really into him, but it wasn't love yet, and therefore she is not wishing death on him - as we sometimes do when someone breaks our heart:
Weren't you trying forgiveness and weren't you trying to stay? Weren't you trying to look up and weren't you trying to pray? Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?
All you want is to play at playing God But I'm falling in, I'm falling out All you need is to play at playing God And I'm falling in, I'm falling out
Never, never, never, ever Never, ever, ever say die (Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?) Never, never, never, ever Never, ever, ever say die (Didn't you say that? Didn't you say that?)
why no comments this is an excellent song very well written and performed the acoustic version on bbc one is extraordinary
