Verse 1

It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain

As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain

 There'll be no last chance to promise to never mess it up again

 Just the sweet pain of watching your back as you walk

 As I'm watching you walk away

Hook:

And now you're gone, there's like an echo in my head

 And I remember every word you said

Verse 2

 It's a cruel thing you'll never know all the ways I tried

 It's a hard thing, faking a smile when I feel

 like I'm falling apart inside

Hook:

And now you're gone, there's like an echo in my head

 And I remember every word you said

Chorus

 But you never were, and you never will be mine

 No, you never were, and you never will be mine

Verse 3

For the first time, there is no mercy in your eyes

 And the cold wind is hitting my face and you're gone

 And you're walking away away

And now I'm helpless sometimes

Wishing's just no good

 'Cause you don't see me like I wish you would

Chorus

 'Cause you never were, and you never will be mine

 No, you never were, and you never will be mine

Verse 4

 There's a moment to seize everytime that we meet

 But you always keep passing me by

 No, you never were, and you never will be mine
