You're Not Mine

I see you, but I can't reach you
No matter how loud my heart gets

I saw you smile like the Sun-kissed rain
Your laughter danced through my chest like pain
Every glance you gave felt like a crime
'Cause I knew deep down you're not mine

The world keeps turning, but I stand still
Chasing a dream I can't fulfill
You're a heartbeat just out of time
But I still pretend you could be mine

Every word you say cuts so fine
Every second I wish you were mine
You're not mine, no matter how I try
Your shadow lingers, but it won't lie
Every step I take, you're farther away
You're not mine, and you'll never stay

You live in my thoughts, but not in my life
This love's a battle without a fight
You're not mine, though I wish you'd see
There's a world where you belong to me

Your perfume lingers in the hollow night
A ghostly whisper that feels so right
But you're a star in someone else's sky
And I'm grounded here, just asking why

I hold your smile like a fragile glass
Knowing one move could shatter the past
I reach for moments that slip like sand
Still tracing you with an empty hand

Every time you laugh, my heart breaks more
I stand in silence outside your door

You're not mine, no matter how I plead
This love I carry is not what you need
Every word unsaid, a silent goodbye
You're not mine, and I can't ask why
I dream of your touch, your voice in the dark
But fate drew lines we can't remark
You're not mine, and I know it's true
Still, every beat keeps leading to you

I could scream, I could beg, I could pray
But fate is cruel, it won't replay
I built a castle on hopes and lies
Watched it crumble in your soft goodbye
Now I learn to love you from afar
A fading wish on a falling star

This heart's an ember your love left cold
But it still burns in the stories I hold

You're not mine, no matter how I try
But I still whisper your name to the sky
You haunt my nights, you fill my day
You're not mine, and you won't stay
And though this love won't ever be real
It's the only thing I still feel
You're not mine, but you'll always be
The one who lives inside of me

You're not mine, but I loved you like you were
