Never Belong
Unraveling Love's Illusion
Lyrics
I never meant to lie when I told you I loved you
I expressed love without intending to deceive
I thought that if I said it out loud it would come true
Hoped that verbalizing love would make it a reality
I guess it doesn't work like that
Realized love doesn't materialize merely by words
And now it's too late to take it back
Too late to retract the declaration
What am I supposed to do now?
Confused about the next steps to take
I put myself in a corner, no kind way out
Feeling trapped without a gentle way out
I called it love, didn't know what I was talkin' 'bout
Misunderstood the concept of love
And now I need to find a way to let you down
Seeking a way to end the relationship
I used to see your face in every love song
Associated the person with love songs
I never thought my heart would tell me wrong
Unexpectedly misled by emotions
I dreamed of you for far too long
Held onto a dream for too long
And when we finally kissed I knew that we would never belong
Realized lack of belonging after a kiss
You are the last person I'd ever want to hurt
Regretful of potentially hurting a loved one
But I guess you're still on the list
Despite intentions, the person is still affected
I've never been the one to pull the trigger
Uncharacteristically contemplating drastic actions
But I can't go on like this
Unable to continue the current situation
I used to see your face in every love song
Love songs are a reminder of the person
I never thought my heart would tell me wrong
Heart's guidance led astray
I dreamed of you for far too long
Persisted in a dream that wasn't reciprocated
And when we finally kissed I knew that we would never belong
Recognition of not fitting together after a kiss
I've always been the type to burn my bridges behind me
Tendency to sever connections, now isolated
But I think this time it left me stranded
Burning bridges led to feeling stranded
I tried to find love, instead I lost a friend
Seeking love resulted in losing a friend
It wasn't worth it if I'm being candid
The cost of the pursuit wasn't justified
I know that what I said wasn't fair to you
Acknowledging unfairness in words spoken
But it didn't go the way I planned it
Plans didn't unfold as anticipated
I thought you'd be the one to fix my broken heart
Mistakenly believed the person could heal
But you can't fix crumbled granite
Realization that some things are irreparable
