I thought I would share the lyrics to the song I wrote about a month ago which I am trying to polish enough to put on Spotify.

\nsaying if I’m still talking to you it’s time to go our separate ways <\/strong>(I went home with another guy)
\nyeah it’s harsh, kinda cold <\/strong>(you were never mine)
\nbut I best do what I’m told <\/strong>(you were never mine)
\ncause now you’ve got her to hold, hold you <\/strong>(you were never mine)<\/p>\n
\nall those late nights that I stayed up hoping you would come around<\/strong>
\nI would sleep with my phone<\/strong>
\nringer on, all alone<\/strong>
\nwondering if you took her home again<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nbut if I could choose<\/strong>
\nthe place that you’d have is by my side<\/strong>
\nI know that it’s wrong<\/strong>
\nto feel so in love<\/strong>
\nwith someone who’ll never change his mind<\/strong>
\nbut I can’t excuse my feelings for you tonight<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nand I’d hang up with a smile; you made colors out of gray<\/strong>
\nbut pack it up, signing off<\/strong>
\nwon’t wait around for your love<\/strong>
\nnow you’ve got her and that’s enough for you<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nbut if I could choose<\/strong>
\nthe place that you’d have is by my side<\/strong>
\nI know that it’s wrong<\/strong>
\nto feel so in love<\/strong>
\nwith someone who’ll never change his mind<\/strong>
\nbut I can’t excuse my feelings for you tonight<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nmake it better<\/strong> (across the bar with some other guy<\/em>)
\nmove in closer<\/strong> (true you were never mine, but when he held you tight<\/em>)
\nremember<\/strong> (I said “I’m fine;” I lied<\/em>)
\nall those evenings<\/strong> (tell me girl, did I hurt you?<\/em>)
\nI spent feeling<\/strong> (I know I did, but what did I do?<\/em>)
\nthings I thought you<\/strong> (and when you took him home, I called a girl I know<\/em>)
\nwere also feeling<\/strong> (couldn’t be alone, would’ve lost control<\/em>)<\/p>\n
\nI know you better now<\/strong> (but you’re still in my head<\/em>)
\nI won’t wait<\/strong> (I bite my tongue and try to say, anything except you’re name)<\/em>
\nnot gonna wait around<\/strong> (would you ever wait for me?<\/em>)<\/p>\n
\nbut if I could choose<\/strong> (I spent feeling) (Cross the bar with some other guy<\/em>)
\nthe place that you’d have is by my side<\/strong> (things I thought you were also feeling) (true you were never mine, but when he held you tight, I said “I’m fine;” I lied, can’t you see I’m crying?)<\/em>
\nI know that it’s wrong<\/strong> (but it’s okay) (tell me girl did I hurt you?)<\/em>
\nto feel so in love<\/strong> (I know you better now) (I know I did but what did I do?)<\/em>
\nwith someone who’ll never change his mind<\/strong> (I won’t wait) (when you took him home, I called a girl I know, couldn’t be alone, would’ve lost control)<\/em>
\nbut I can’t excuse my feelings for you<\/strong> (I’m so confused; I know I used you)<\/em>
\nno I can’t excuse these feelings for you<\/strong> (I never knew that I would lose you)<\/em>
\nno I can’t excuse my feelings for you tonight<\/strong> (how can I prove I’ll always choose you?)<\/em><\/p>\n
