Never Mine

All of these years,

I had the distinct feeling

That each lover of yours

            That filled temporary homes in your heart,

Never knew.

They never knew about me,

Our history--past,

Stolen kisses when we were no one elses'.

They didn't know about our friendship,

The close ties, the way we knew one another,

As we got older.

They knew none of that.

I am sure as well, that aside from those shared or met,

None of your other friends really knew either.

What were you scared of?

Was it a lie that you didn't care about what others thought?

The only conclusion I can claim is that perhaps

Our connection, the love, the camaraderie--

It would ruin your street cred.

Foolish man, we're no longer teenagers.

I was your secret.

You were never mine.

Lonely Lover

You can fall, you can run

But love's gonna find you

You can put up a fight, not believe anyone

But love's gonna find you...

Chorus:

When it's right, you'll know

When it's real, it's gonna show

There will be, a lot of crumbled roses

There will be, seas filled with tears

You've got to have faith, because heaven's watching out for you

Don't give up, don't lose hope

Because when it's right, you'll surely know.

You may lose yourself along the way,

You just have to pick up the pieces,

It'll be a brighter day.

Bridge:

Hold on to your hear, lonely lover

Don't be afraid, to give it to another

Just recognize, what you really need

Don't sell out, you'll find your peace, eventually.

Chorus

Bridge

Hold on to your heart, lonely lover

Hold on to your heart--

Hold on to your heart, lonely lover.

Wishing Time

There's a shooting star

In the night sky

I'm holding my breath

Is it wishing time?

Where do you go when your heart's been broken?

What is there to say when you've lost it all?

You opened up, the places you swore would stay hidden,

Became exposed and now it's all been poisoned.

Chorus:

I don't know what to do

Other than wishing on myself

Trust in myself and no one else.

Every lover lets you down,

No one will ever love me like I do,

Like I do.

I've been going at this

For way too long

Dreaming on dreams

That will never come true.

Where do you go when loving is your place in this world?

What is there to say when you've given it your all?

You tried to be strong, you've been pushed too hard, too long

Became a fighter and now all you see is the reflection of you, on your own.

Chorus

I don't know what to do

Other than wishing on myself

Trust in myself and no one else.

Every lover lets you down,

I deserve more than this, so much more

I need it.

Chorus

Every lover lets you down,

I deserve more than this, so much more,

That I do.
