I’m never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me

So I’m never gonna get too close to you

No, I’m never going back again
Never going back again
Never going back again
Never going back again

To cry, so I’m never gonna get too close to you

Never going back again
Never going back again
Never going back again
