Always Never

(Album: Bet My Heart - 2023)

Loving you is like loving a ghost
Never knew I'd be letting you go
Acting like we didn't already know
What the stars had decided
I didn't know I was lying to you
If you knew you didn't mind it
Seventeen, had nothing to lose
Just a good love to bad timing

You were always saying the right thing
Just never saying what you really mean
Always had a leaving tendency
Just never thought that you'd be leaving me
Six years, two months, day three
It was always never meant to be
Knew you well enough to know what you need
It was always never gonna be me
It was always never gonna be me

I blame it on feelings changing
And I blame the dreams I'm chasing
Neither one of us wanted to say it
But, boy, it's never not been fading

You were always saying the right thing
Just never saying what you really mean
Always had a leaving tendency
Just never thought that you'd be leaving me
Six years, two months, day three
But it was always never meant to be
Knew you well enough to know what you need
It was always never gonna be me

You needed cool calm and collected
Settled down, a lot less reckless
Nothing we could do to help it
When it was always never meant to be
I wanted easy stars aligning
You'd fight all night for a left hand diamond
No point in compromising
When it was always never gonna be me
It was always never gonna be me

You were always saying the right thing
Just never saying what you really mean
Always had a leaving tendency
Just never thought that you'd be leaving me
Six years, two months, day three
But it was always never meant to be
Knew you well enough to know what you need
It was always never gonna be me
It was always never gonna be me
