Never Yours

I tucked my head in the pillow just like you tucked her hair behind her ear,

I tightened my fists as tightly as you held her hand,

I screamed in the pillow with every laugh of yours on her jokes,

In your head, I was your friend

In my head, even I knew I was your friend,

But to my heart, I knew I was staying ‘til the end

I knew what stood between us, 

All along, I knew it all

But now I understand

I tried to move on from something that was never mine,

With every part of my heart trying to whine,

They say it’s hard to move on from something you owned,

But let me tell you, everything is hard when it’s about moving on from love,

 

I’d never forget you,

You’ll be the one I could never get to,

You were the sun, I were the earth

We could never be one,

But I never left your side,

When the world’s ending and there are burning piles

The sky is all up in flames, the sea on its rage

And you're the word on every line, every page

I’ll keep listening

Till my body goes cold, my hair withered, and I’m laying dead,

Oh, my lover, I wish we could live together in the afterlife ahead.
