I liked you

You could’ve been mine

I would’ve fought for you

I could’ve been by your side.

I was a dreamer

I could’ve hoped

But the dreamer in me

Had long died.

You could’ve been in his place

I would’ve forgotten him

I would’ve loved you

From the start

But my heart

Has always been a fool

Giving love away

To those who just gave it back.

I could’ve been happy

I would’ve loved again

Loved like I was whole again

Because I was yours

But who am I to say

I do not own your heart

You are hers, she is yours

And I am a mere shadow in the dark.
