[Verse 1] Night after night, you slipped out late Came back home with that same fake face Said you were working, said you were stuck But I saw her taillights in my truck I stood right there in the porch light glow Watched you laugh like I didn’t know You told me lies with your ring still on Acted clean when the truth was gone [Pre-Chorus] I held my breath for the kids asleep Bit my tongue till it bled too deep But something cracked in my chest that day I heard my daddy’s words come back this way [Chorus] Never again, never again You don’t get to break me and call it a man Never again, never again This heart won’t bend for your cheat-game plan I stayed too long, but now I’m free Never again, never again for me (never again) [Verse 2] I packed up pride in a cardboard box Folded my hurt in my workday socks You begged and cried with that same old line But I saw straight through your wounded sign I fought back hard with a steady hand Quit being soft for a half-made man Told the truth in a calm, cold tone This house ain’t a place for your lies to roam [Pre-Chorus] I made my vow at my daddy’s grave No more kneeling, no more afraid If love turns cruel, I walk away That promise still stands where I stand today [Chorus] Never again, never again You don’t get to break me and call it a man Never again, never again This heart won’t bend for your cheat-game plan I stayed too long, but now I’m free Never again, never again for me (never again) [Bridge] I was raised on creek water, red clay, and steel Told to stand up straight and know what’s real You can keep your stories and your alibis I found my spine in those tear-filled nights [Final Chorus] Never again, never again You don’t get to break me and call it a man Never again, never again This heart won’t bend for your cheat-game plan I stayed too long, but now I’m free Never again, never again for me No more lies in this house I keep Never again, never again for me (never again)
