Not My Own
Echoes of Lost Love: Gabriel Gomez's Not My Own
Lyrics
I think you left your sweater in my closet
I believe you left your sweater in my closet
And your favourite book is sitting on my shelf
Your favorite book is on my shelf
I will keep them safe a little longer
I will keep them safe for a little longer
I could use an excuse to talk to you
I desire a reason to converse with you
My bed is feeling cold and so much bigger
My bed feels cold and larger without you
My hands are missing holding yours too
My hands miss the sensation of holding yours
I still can't see myself in the mirror
I can't see myself in the mirror without your reflection
Without seeing your reflection too
The reflection of you is inseparable from mine
I can't make you fall in love again
I cannot force you to fall in love again
If we could turn back the hands of time
If only we could rewind time
And find a way back home
And rediscover our way back home
I won't make the same mistake again
I won't repeat the same mistake
When I chose to live your life
When I opted to live your life, not mine
And not my own
Not living for myself
Not my own
-Own
Ownership of my choices
I remember us dancing in the middle of the street
Recollection of us dancing in the street
Rain was pouring down with the whole world at our feet
Rain falling, the world at our feet
Found myself daydreaming of the things we could have been
Daydreaming about unrealized possibilities
And the way you looked at me
Remembering the way you looked at me
I can't make you fall in love again
I can't make you love me again
If we could turn back the hands of time
If time could reverse, finding our way home
And find a way back home
Avoiding the repetition of past errors
I won't make the same mistake again
Not living your life again
When I chose to live your life
Avoiding the repetition of past errors
And not my own
Not living your life again
Not my own
Not living for myself
Own
Ownership of my choices
I wonder if you even shed a tear
Contemplating if you shed a tear
As you packed up all your bags and left me here
As you packed up and left me
Cause you can't cry the things you never felt
You can't cry for things you never felt
And I keep missing things you never meant
I miss things you never intended
Can't make you fall in love again
I can't make you love me again
If we could turn back the hands of time
If time could reverse, finding our way home
And find a way back home
Avoiding the repetition of past errors
I won't make the same mistake again
Not living your life again
When I chose to live your life
Avoiding the repetition of past errors
And not my own
Not living your life again
Not my own
Not living for myself
Own
Ownership of my choices
