Chasing What Was Never Mine

You smiled and I believed in fate,

Too blind to see it was too late,

You walked away without a sign,

Chasing what was never mine.

Your touch was fire, your heart was snow,

I held too tight, I couldn't let go,

The truth was written in your eyes,

But I refused to realize.

I was chasing what was never mine,

Holding shadows, crossing lines,

Every heartbeat out of time,

Chasing what was never mine.

I see your face in strangers' eyes,

A thousand ways to say goodbye,

And though I know, I still replay,

The things I couldn't say.

I was chasing what was never mine,

Holding shadows, crossing lines,

Every heartbeat out of time,

Chasing what was never mine.

Love's a mirror made of glass,

You see the truth but it won't last,

And when it breaks, you bleed inside,

But still you try.

I was chasing what was never mine,

A dream I couldn't redefine,

Now I'm free, but still confined,

Chasing what was never mine.
