Never Mine

I see you laughing in the hallway light

Your voice a spark in my quiet night

I memorize the way you move, the words you say

Even though I know you’ll never look at me that way

You talk about her like she holds the sun

I smile and nod like I’m not the one

Burning up inside with nowhere left to go

'Cause there’s a truth I carry that you’ll never know

I love you in silence, in spaces between

Where the world never notices what might have been

You're not wrong, you're just not mine

And I'm not someone you could ever find

The way I found you, with every breath

But you're straight, you're hers

And I’m just left...

Loving someone

Who’ll never be mine

Tried to bury it deep, to let it fade

But you shine too bright in every shade

And it’s not your fault, it’s just the way it is

I fall for moments, you don’t even miss

You tell me secrets, lean in close

Not knowing I’d give the world for just that dose

Of something more, that I can’t ask for

So I hold the ache behind a door

I love you in silence, in spaces between

Where the world never notices what might have been

You're not wrong, you're just not mine

And I'm not someone you could ever find

The way I found you, with every breath

But you're straight, you're hers

And I’m just left...

Loving someone

Who’ll never be mine

And I’ll cheer you on through every part

Even when it’s breaking my own heart

Because love, real love, can sometimes mean

Letting go of what you’ll never keep

I love you in silence, with no place to go

A love you’ll never need to know

You're not wrong, you're just not mine

And that’s a truth I’ll wear like a quiet line

Carved in the dark, etched in my chest

You're her forever

And I’m just the rest

Still loving someone

Who’ll never be mine
