Thought You Were Mine

[Intro]
You said forever like you meant it
Like it was written in stone
Guess forever has a way
Of leaving you alone

I should’ve seen it in the beginning 
What I was too blind to find
You weren’t looking for somebody
You just needed someone to call you mine

⸻

[Verse 1]
I still remember how it started
Like something out of a dream
Two strangers talking for hours
Like the world disappeared

You knew every crack in my armor
Every scar I tried to hide
And I let you see the worst of me
Cause you were on my side

We built a world on promises
On words we swore were true
Funny how the strongest thing I had
Was something I could lose



[Pre-Chorus]
Now every memory feels different
Like a lie I couldn’t see
I replay the nights I thought we had
And wonder who you really were to me



[Chorus]
I thought you were mine forever
I thought we’d beat the odds
I gave you every piece of me
And everything I was

Now I’m staring at the wreckage
Of a love I can’t rewind
Trying to understand
How I lost someone I thought was mine



[Verse 2]
I hear your name in conversations
Like it’s nothing anymore
Like the nights we stayed up talking
Never happened before

I still drive past that old street
Where we used to waste our time
Funny how the smallest places
Hold the hardest goodbyes

I thought I knew the real you
But maybe I just knew your side

And maybe I was just naïve
Or maybe love’s just blind
Cause the person I believed in
Would’ve never been this unkind



[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m learning how to live
With the silence you left behind
I replay the nights I thought we had
And wonder who you really were to me



[Chorus]
I thought you were mine forever
I thought we’d beat the odds
I gave you every piece of me
And everything I was

Now I’m staring at the wreckage
Of a love I can’t rewind
Trying to understand
How I lost someone I thought was mine



[Bridge]
Maybe I was just a chapter
In a story you moved through
But you were every damn page
In the life I thought I knew

I gave you everything I had
Till there was nothing left of me
Love’s supposed to build you back up
But you just let me bleed

I kept trying to save us
While you were saving face

Guess it’s hard to love somebody
When they’re loving their reflection

And I hate that part of me
Still hopes you’re missing me tonight



[Final Chorus]
I thought you were mine forever
I thought we’d find a way
Through every storm that came for us
Through every broken day

Now I’m standing in the silence
Of a dream we left behind
Still asking myself
If you were ever really mine



[Outro]
Guess some people teach you love
And some teach you goodbye

Guess I finally learned the difference
Between love and your reflection
