You were never mine to lose

You were never mine to choose

So can someone tell me

Why it feels like I have to tell my heart

To decide between fate and heartache?

Either way I just get pain.

Either road I take

I walk down the path alone

I have a childs heart though

I am grown.

I make the same mistakes

I bring myself the same heartaches

This naivety has never served me well

Believing the best about people

Will put you through hell.

I wanted a cure to it all

I guess that's too much pressure

Even if you wanted to fall.

But I'm tired of making myself small

Just to fit in someone else's mold of

what perfection is called.

I wanted a friend I could lean on,

You wanted someone to believe you

When you were lost.

You never had any intention of moving on

-I just wanted to be numb-

You were never mine to lose

You were never mine to choose

Tell me why do I feel pain?

Why do I feel betrayed?

Why must I wretched heart ache?

Am I always to be deceived by my own fate?

You were never mine to lose

You were never mine to chose.
