Never Mine

She's gone
She's flown
Left you right here in your empty home
One chair, you own
Sitting right here on your golden throne
You got drunk alone, reaping all the woes from the seeds you've sewn
Unplug your phone
Set fire to the bridges of the ones you've known

And all your friends just want to help you
It's clear that no one's taking sides
And you read them but you don't reply, just sitting here in all your pride

I tried to stare into the light
How brightly we would shine
You said we were fine
I wish I'd noticed at the time
I wish I'd seen the signs
You were never mine

Low lows
Tall highs
You buy the ticket and you take the ride
I see a thin disguise
Guess you can't tell when a person lies
You've got a new 'do and a new crew and you try to stay cool, but some needs arise
Got some new rules
Surprise
Thought you'd be cool with some other guys

You thought we had an understanding
And I thought, one day, we'd say our vows
What we wanted, fate would not allow and everything is over now

I tried to stare into the light
How brightly we would shine
You said we were fine
I wish I'd noticed at the time
I wish I'd seen the signs
You were never mine

You thought we had an understanding
I thought I'd get a second chance
But you let me know that you just can't
It's not that type of circumstance

I tried to stare into the light
How brightly we would shine
You said we were fine
I wish I'd noticed at the time
I wish I'd seen the signs
You were never mine
