you where never mine

Verse 1

The nights are colder than they used to be

And the hardest part now is learning how to bleed.

The truth runs faster, yeah, it knows my face

But you’re nowhere near, just an empty space.

I walk past all the places we used to be

And it feels like the walls just stare at me.

Your picture’s facedown on the table tonight,

Tried drowning you in all these whiskey nights.

Chorus

If missing you was a crime, I’d be locked away— ( locked away)

Serving time for every memory I can’t escape.

I said I’d let you go, said I’d finally heal,

But every night proves every lie I feel.

I’m still burning without the right to shine—

Still yours in ways that were never mine.

( you where never mine )

Verse 2

If forgetting is freedom, then why’s it so hard

To unlock the cage welded around my heart

I find your traces in the smallest things—

why do love leave when its so damn deep

Why does every empty room feels like you can see.

How did you slip away like a stolen flame—

I’d give anything to hear you say my name. ( to hear you say my name)

Chorus

If missing you was a crime, I’d be locked away— ( away)

Serving time for every memory I can’t escape.

I said I’d let you go, said I’d finally heal,

But every night proves every lie I feel.

I’m still burning without the right to shine—

Still yours in ways that were never mine.

( you where never mine )

Bridge

I’ve learned the taste of lonely again

Heard your footsteps, but it’s my memory instead.

Maybe I was the storm

And you were the calm

And I tore apart the place where we belonged.

( the place where we belonged)

Chorus

If missing you was a crime, I’d be locked away— ( away)

Serving time for every memory I can’t escape.

I said I’d let you go, said I’d finally heal,

But every night proves every lie I feel.

I’m still burning without the right to shine—

Still yours in ways that were never mine.

( you where never mine )
