Never mine

I see you standing in the fading light,
Holding onto someone else so tight.
I was just a shadow in your world,
A ghost you never really heard.


Tried to fight it, tried to stay,
But love don’t work that way.
I was drowning in the dream,
While you were waking up from me.

You were never mine to hold,
Never mine to call my own.
I was burning while you were cold,
Now I’m done, I’m letting go.
Yeah, I’m done, I’m letting go.


Every glance felt like a loaded gun,
Every touch was just a hit-and-run.
I built a castle out of sand,
Watched it crumble in your hands.

Tried to fight it, tried to stay,
But love don’t work that way.
I was screaming in the dark,
While you were chasing shooting stars.


You were never mine to hold,
Never mine to call my own.
I was burning while you were cold,
Now I’m done, I’m letting go.
Yeah, I’m done, I’m letting go.


(Yeahhh—)
Let the echoes fade, let the fire die,
No more waiting, no more lies

You were never mine to hold,
Never mine to call my own.
I was burning while you were cold,
Now I’m done, I’m letting go.
Yeah, I’m done, I’m letting go!


I see you standing in the fading light,
But this time, I won’t fight.
