Memories don't die they eclipse

They fade for an hour then come back again

But I wouldn't change them, no, not a bit

I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't

'Cause the Earth won't stop spinning for us

No matter how bad we wish it would

No matter how bad we wish things would change

They didn't 'cause they couldn't, not yet

When I looked at you, you were never mine

When I looked at you

When I looked at you

You were never mine to keep, no

Time has taken its toll

On both of our souls

But don't get me wrong 'cause things are much better now

But they hurt much worse

But I'm sure the pain will recede

Oh, 'cause we'll find distractions when both of us leave

But the truth is that I never wanted a thing

Other than what was here

When I looked at you

You were never mine

When I looked at you

When I looked at you

You were never mine to keep, no

You were never mine, no

Maybe someday it'll be different

We'll grow up and I'll be a better man

And I'll take you for coffee, oh, I'll take you dancing

It'll be alright 'cause you'll be mine

And when I look at you

Maybe you'll be mine, you'll be mine

And when I look at you

Maybe you'll be mine then, oh
