You Were Never Mine

We come undone

Like a dangling thread

I’m picking apart

Every word that you’ve said

I'll call it an art

I’ve made my bed

I gave up my heart

While losing my head

It’s you-you-you

Every thought you

I’m lost inside

The high tides

Of your eyes

Those blue lies

Unspool

But he was never mine

I have no right to hold

His picture in my mind

It’s already bought and sold

By a girl out on his wire

Who doesn’t even know

How he likes to play with fire

Or the promises he told

To a naïve girl in love

Who’s left to fall alone

Suffering in silence

That’s all she’s ever known

While he builds his house of lies

She’ll pick him clean off her bones

And force herself to let him go

Letters wrote

That hide in a drawer

High stake keepsakes

Forever yours

The signed proof of his love

Tucked away, it’s her cure

The words he won’t say

Dipped in ink make her sure

She writes,

He was never mine

These words remain untrue

Cause He could never find

The strength to see it through

"I’ll leave her" he would swear

Something he would never do

That man never played fair

Had his cake to eat it too

Fool, why romanticize

An affair that left you cold

From the winter in his eyes

And the lies so easy-told?

Yours forever ends today

For the sake of my lost soul

I’ll find a way to let you go
