[Intro/Chorus]
Never gonna get away
Never  gonna get away, no
Never  gonna get away
No, never gonna get away
Never gonna get away
No,  never gonna get away
Never  gonna get away
No, never gonna get away

[Verse 1]
Guess  I gotta grin and put up with your shit even though it kills me
There’s no turning back from here we’re on a raft in the middle of the sea
Ran out of jokes so we prod and poke at each other’s mistakes
Got a long memory of insults you threw at me that I can’t shake

[Chorus]
Never  gonna get away
No, never gonna get away
Never gonna get away
No, never gonna get away
Never gonna get away
No, never gonna get away
Never gonna get away
No, never gonna get away

[Verse 2]
You got a good smile and it took a little while before you revealed yourself
Just enough time for it to be too late for me to untie myself
I hope and I pray that one day you will change but deep down I know you won’t
I’ll keep playing your game while searching for a way out trying not to lose hope

[Chorus]
Never gonna get away
No, never gonna get away
Never gonna get away
No, never gonna get away
Never gonna get away
No, never gonna get away
(I will never get away, I'm—)
Never gonna get away

[Post-Chorus]
I'm trying to get away, get away from you
(I will never get away, I'll—)
Oh no, ooh, never gonna get—
(I will never get away, I'll—)
Never get away

[Outro]
I catch myself saying you’re right 'cause I’m afraid of you not because you’re right
Hell of a lot easier to let it be than it is to start a fight
The only way forward is to flatter you more I’m stooping to my lowest low
Guess I learned my damn lesson can’t be too quick to let in people I don’t know
