Verse 1]
You weren’t mine, not really
But we slipped between the lines
A glance across the table
A language only we could find
In the silence of pretending
We carved out something real
A secret held in fingertips
In every touch we couldn’t feel
[Verse 2]
We kissed like it was borrowed
Drank truth from wine-stained lips
You made me feel like someone
I forgot I used to miss
The right man in the wrong time
That’s the story we became
You knew I’d fall, I always do
But I still played your game
[Chorus – Free Form]
We were stars behind a curtain
A love that couldn’t stay
You held me in your moments
Then let me drift away
I gave you what you wanted
While you danced around the truth
You never said you loved me
But I felt it slip through you
The game you loved to play—
It was me, always me
[Verse 3]
You left like it meant nothing
But your ghost still pulls me in
We made promises in whispers
Then turned strangers once again
I said I loved you quietly
Like someone says goodbye
You looked like you already knew
That love would never try
[Bridge]
Years have folded over
But your name still stings the same
Sometimes I drink and wonder
If you regret not playing fair
You knew I was the gamble
But never laid your heart bare
[Final Chorus – Vulnerable, soft]
You built a world in moments
Then vanished with the day
I was the song you danced to once
Then forgot how to replay
But I still hear the echoes
When the night forgets to fade
And I still love the memory
Of the game you loved to play
[Outro]
I was never yours to treasure
Just the thrill you let decay
But part of me still wonders
If you ever mis me... mis me every....
