It was never me

You say you're in love
But I call your bluff
You said the world was for us
Then you left along with my trust
You said we could weather the storm
Yet I'm sitting all alone and unevenly torn
You said there was a chance to fall into love
I thought after everything you were my angel sent from above
I told all my friends I wasn't crazy and that we could last
But looking at all your broken promises I see my time has passed
I leaned up and whispered into your ear it'll never be me
And you said it'll always be you but sadly that isn't reality
You tore your gaze away and drifted off into sleep
I held you in my arms not understanding why we couldn't be
You said that whatever happened you promised not to leave
But as I look around me i forget how to breathe
When I had no constants I relied on you set my course
But soon you left and I didn't think I could feel worse
I was so wrong I saw you with him and I tried to kill my feelings
The day I almost had it snuffed you got me hoping
With new promises of staying around and how it might work out
Slowly I began to realize this is what you're all about
You were never in it for me you just didn't want to be alone
Sadly for me my motives were only to make you my own
I have to push you away because I can't take this pain
So I give you up in hopes I could stay sane
I try to forget the look on your face as you slept in my arms
And I promised I'd never let you come to any harm
Or the times id lend you my jacket that fit you like a dress
But now it's just a memory like the rest
Sometimes I think of how I saw through your facade and knew you
But that was never enough no matter what I'd do
There will always be someone that's not me
Because you'll never let us be
Your heart was never mine even though mine was yours
I give up now please just remember that girl I loved her
You've changed and so have I yet I've always loved
And for me you were always my gift from above
