Never Mine

A smile that you grant me
But it is not mine to keep
Happiness that makes me weep
In your eyes
Holy light shines
And I can't seem to say
The words
That make you mine

So here I am
Back to drinking in your smile
And that deadly laughter
Let me run that mile
Faster and faster
Until my tears have dried
Until my hopes have died
The Glory Days are truly gone
Remember them in future songs
Because I am tired
Of pleasing and scraping
Of searching and questioning

Look away my love
At the other side
For I won't be there
No need to be kind
For I will never say the words
That make you mine.
