Called me up today
Should’ve stood in your way
You lied
And everywhere a dream
Nothing came between
I died
Give me a way
I will not bleed for you
God comes down
Never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
And if you wanted water
And if you wanted food
And if you want shelter
I can not come over to you
And if you want love now
Or a needle and a spoon
You gotta show a little faith in me baby I can’t come over to you
It’s never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
God come on down
And if you want out
Sitting by the bay
Well the sun went down tomorrow
It will not come up today
And if you want love now
Or rapture un so cruel
If there’s a god it’s me
Now baby I can not come over to you
Never gonna be the same
She drew me in anyway
She lied
Gotta show a little faith
Your rugged old cross you made
What goes up must come down and down and down
Cry
And if I wanted fame
All the glory all the womb?
And if I want my name emblazened in all the light in you
And if I wanted Christ or a Messiah by my side
I can’t believe in anything I know that Mary lied
Sucked you up today
Could’ve got away
Oh Mary lied
Do you know
Can you feel it
Do you feel me
Yeah
And if you wanted madness and if you want whats pure
Well you gotta come over to me baby my life doesn’t reach to you and
If you want love so unconditional and real you gotta ride
That black horse baby through the depths of hell that I’ve been follow
Me away
I will be the same
Strongest one to name
Through the valley of life
I’m gonna be the same
Goodnight goodnight goodnight
Ah goodnight
Oh you’ll never be the same
One of her best under-rated songs. I wish she’d play it again these days and added a new breath to it, I reckon she’d do it beautifully. That song carried me through storm and gale.
This is Courtney love pouring her heart out the only way she knows how it seems so sad hearing her side we should have been more sympathetic to her and maybe she wouldnt have been so lost for so long..so powerful.
The timing of the release of "Never Gonna be the Same," bordered on psychic. I lost my twin soul to an accidental overdose shortly after the release. Every line, every lyric, penetrates my soul like a sharp blade. The pain Clove shares is so very familiar- right down to the guilt associated. Thank you Courtney, for bravely exposing your truth.
A song by a loving wife to her husband..This song has so much pain in it. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ABUSING DRUGS. I am single now, I have tried everything under the sun including a divorce but I won't abuse drugs. These days I find my high by helping needy people. Love is a ll we need.
God this song is heartwrenching.. Beautiful. I think it's a very underrated song from the infamous America's Sweetheart album. I want to know the meaning of it down to its bones!
