Raised in cradles
familiarized with your scent
Held on to tears for you
Gripping you all of the time.

Seemed like your smile
Was just for me
Wished on everyone
For you to be mine.

In the darkest time
Bleak and dingy
The places your heart had;
Thought I could venture
Like an explorer around.

That fateful day
When you lay all alone
The door creaked open
And you welcomed a blond

You adored her,
With the stars in your eyes,
Now I knew
In the end,
You were never mine.
