You were never mine

I watched you from afar
But you were never mine
Tried to make you see
But you never had the time
We danced in the shadows
Played a game we couldn’t win
I gave you my heart
But you never let me in

You were just a dream
A fantasy in my mind
I built us a world
But you left me behind

You were never mine
But I wanted you so bad
I was just a shadow
In the life you never had

You moved like a ghost
Fading in the night
I tried to follow
But you were out of sight
You never saw me
Not the way I saw you
You were just a memory
That I never could undo

You were just a dream
A fantasy in my mind
I built us a world
But you left me behind

You were never mine
But I wanted you so bad
I was just a shadow
In the life you never had

I tried to let go
But you lingered inside
Your absence haunts me
Like a ghost I can’t hide

You were never mine
But I wanted you so bad
I was just a shadow
In the life you never had
