[Verse 1] You wore your freedom like a chain I held my breath and said your name You let me in a little bit Then turned away like I was it I watched your hand slip through my mine Like rain through holes in borrowed time You never lied, you never stayed You left me with the words you saved [Pre-Chorus] And I kept hoping, kept holding on To a door that was already gone I heard your laugh down the hallway And every step just led away [Chorus] To the girl who could never love me I was all in, I was all in To the girl who could never love me You said maybe, but you never did (to the girl who could never love me) You said maybe, but you never did [Verse 2] You kept my name inside your mouth Like something you could spit out I built a home out of your maybe You made a fool out of my baby I knew the look behind your eyes A locked-up room in pretty light I gave you all my open hands You gave me smoke and second plans [Pre-Chorus] And I kept hoping, kept holding on To a door that was already gone I heard your laugh down the hallway And every step just led away [Chorus] To the girl who could never love me I was all in, I was all in To the girl who could never love me You said maybe, but you never did (to the girl who could never love me) You said maybe, but you never did [Bridge] Go on, take the last of my faith I'll learn the shape of empty space I won't beg for what you can't give I still got a life to live And I will bleed, but I will heal This broken heart is not my deal Not anymore, not anymore I'm locking up your open door [Final Chorus] To the girl who could never love me I was all in, I was all in To the girl who could never love me You said maybe, but you never did (to the girl who could never love me) You said maybe, but you never did To the girl who could never love me I let you go, I let you go To the girl who could never love me Now I know, now I know (to the girl who could never love me) Now I know, now I know
