never mine

Never Mine

Wake me up when all this pain is gone
Every time we talk, the thoughts I have go numb
Just like old walls, the small things tore us down
But still, your breathing’s fine
And me, I’ve lost my mind

Found that hell you said I was bound to see
I give my all, but still my act ain’t clean
So a bed of nails is where I’m set to sleep
If I’m trapped, then how could you feel free?
If this ain’t love, then what did all those tears mean?

We used to lay right here till the sun came up
Then I ruined it all when I tried my luck
I only see your face when I’m too fucked up
And these shaking hands have yet to stop

Doing better now, but at times, I still cave in
I thought you wrecked my life, but the battle was within
Seems I’ve done my time and finally paid my sins
Now I finally see those signs
Darling, you were never mine

We used to lay right here till the sun came up
Then I saved my soul that wasn’t enough
I only see your face when I’m to fucked up
And these shaking hands have yet to stop
Oh, these shaking hands have yet to stop
