Never Mine

I still set the table for two Even when I eat alone Hear your voice between the walls Like an echo with no home I learned every part of you Every silence, every sigh But you never saw the storm Hidden in my eyes I was writing us a future You were passing through my life I kept all your little things Like they meant you’d still be here Every moment, every word Now just memories I fear You moved on so easily Like I barely left a trace While I’m stuck in yesterday Still memorizing your face I was building us forever You were leaving without a fight You were never mine to hold Just a dream I couldn’t keep I was drowning in your love While you were barely in too deep I gave you all I am Every tear, every try But you were never mine to love Only mine to say goodbye If love was enough You’d still be here with me But I was just a chapter Not your story, not your dream And I hate that I still want you After all you never gave I’d still choose you in a heartbeat Even knowing I’d break] You were never mine to hold Still I held on way too tight I was lost inside your world You were never really mine I gave you all I am Now there’s nothing left to try You were never mine to love… Only mine… to say goodbye And I still set the table for two… But tonight, I won’t pretend it’s you [ Guitar dissolves into stillness ]
