I can't let you know, that I'm struggling to let you go
I'd never show something so emotional
I'm on the brink, of something what, I don't know
the clock's ticking, any second now I might explode
I'm uncomfortable with the notion that I'm exposing a nerve
I feel like I deserve the burn I'm assured, earned the hurt
Only me to blame, and I'm ashamed of the decisions I've made
I'd take back that night so I could reset the pace
but you were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
but you were never mine
you'd always choose what's comfortable over what feels right
You were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
but you were never mine
it's never me reflected back when i look into your eyes
You were never mine...
You were never mine
Honesty honestly never was the policy
cause truth be told, the truth feels like a prison to me,
and this cage is getting to me, just listen to me,
you're afraid of change, and I'm afraid to leave
but fear isn't the only force here, it's clear to me
you're dear to me, but sincerely, I'm the type that clings til I bleed
and you're the kind of sweet that stings
I'd have given anything
but you were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
but you were never mine
you'd always choose what's comfortable over what feels right
You were never mine
we both told ourselves so many goddamn lies
you were never mine
it's never me reflected back when i look into your eyes
