Used To Be Mine

You were there…

I thought you stayed…

But I was just a space you played.

(used… used…)

I let you in, piece by piece,

You took it all, left no release.

Soft smiles, quiet lies,

I gave you trust, you took the prize.

(all mine… all mine…)

I don’t cry, I don’t scream,

Just pulse in the silence of my dream.

You thought I’d stay… I thought I’d bend…

Now I’m just empty at the end.

Used to be mine — now I see,

You never loved me, just needed me.

Cold hands, warm heart, torn apart,

I’m reclaiming what’s left of my heart.

(never mine… never mine…)

Every word, a hollow sound,

Every look, your absence found.

You drifted close, then slipped away,

I was your night, your light, your play.

(just a play…)

I hold my space, I hold my air,

You’re gone, but I still feel you there.

Not for long — I’ll fade this frame,

Erase your shadow, forget your name.

Used to be mine — now I see,

You never loved me, just needed me.

Cold hands, warm heart, torn apart,

I’m reclaiming what’s left of my heart.

(never mine… never mine…)

Pulse slows, walls rise,

Your ghost no longer hides.

I was yours… but not for long,

I breathe out, reclaim the song.

Used to be mine — but not tonight,

I am whole in my own light.

Your echo fades, I shut the line,

I was yours… but never mine.

(never mine… never mine…)
