You held me like a borrowed thing
Soft grip, no promise in the swing
Eyes like fire under water
Knew you'd leave, but stayed a little longer
Your name sounds better in my head
Than it ever did when you said
Anything close to truth
You never gave me proof
I was never yours
You just liked the light I gave
Used me like a mirror
Then vanished in the fade
I was never yours
But I still carry the tone
Of a song you hummed
When you thought you were alone
The room remembers how we moved
But the rhythm only ever suited you
You took the part that made me ache
Left the rest in quiet quake
You never looked me in the soul
Just traced the parts you could control
I was never yours
You just liked the light I gave
Used me like a mirror
Then vanished in the fade
I was never yours
But I still hear the chord
Of a melody you broke
When silence was the reward
I wasn’t yours to break
But you chipped away anyway
And now I hum your echo
Just to fill the grey
I was never yours
But I still feel your breath
In the cracks of dawn
In the weight of what's left
You were never mine
But you haunt like a ghost
Not the kind that fades
Just the kind I love most
