Meant to Be Mine

Old brown stone
Closed off mind
The only colour you'll ever know
'Cause you know one day you'll wonder why
All those rainbows dared to die
And you'll find
You're looking in the wrong set of eyes

All those times we talked about travelling the blue
How we could build a plane and let our childhood dreams come true
See I was never afraid to let it all go and fall through
'Til the day
That I fell for you
But you'll never know
So here's a song that I wrote you

See darling I can make a storm just as big as hers
See I can start a fire like hers and watch you burn
But I'm not like her
See I would never ever let you hurt
So just this time
Could you open your eyes
And see me here
Standing by your side
'Cause you were meant to be mine

See I live in a box now
Even when it's cold on winter nights
All these worries and what if's tempt me to set it alight
But my time is up now
And these faults well they're all my own
See I'm giving up dear
I can watch from the blue alone
My faults they're fear
They won't let you know

That I can make
A storm just as big as hers
See I can start a fire like hers and watch you burn
But no I'm not like her
See I would never ever let you hurt
So just this time
Could you open your eyes
And see me here
But you've left me behind

And all this time
I thought I knew who you were
Just a little lost boy
Who needed someone to love
Backstreet lies
On the kitchen floor
I'm bleeding from the shattered glass
While you closed the door

But I can make
A storm just as big as hers
See I can start a fire like hers and watch you burn
But I'm not like her see I would never ever let you hurt
So just this time
Could you open your eyes
And see me here
Standing by your side
'Cause you were meant to be mine
