Hands down caught in the middle,

You knew I was waiting for a lie,

But the days got dark for a little.

And they can't see that you're trouble,

You said you could change like fire to the rain,

But the days stayed dark for a little.

Cut my teeth on the words you speak,

Getting lost in the echoes.

And your young years cover up my ears,

Getting lost in the echoes.

Cause you built love inside a vacant home,

You put my hand in yours,

But I was never yours to hold.

You knew my fears would always keep me here,

You put my hand in yours,

But I was never yours to hold

I was never yours to hold, no.

I was never yours to hold, no.

Head high losing the battle

Cover up your own tracks and take it back,

But your days got dark for a little.

Found me foolish and fickle

Never change my mind, just gave up on a time

When the days were dark for a little.

Cut my teeth on the words you speak,

Getting lost in the echoes.

And your young years cover up my ears,

Getting lost in the echoes.

Cause you built love inside a vacant home,

You put my hand in yours,

But I was never yours to hold.

You knew my fears would always keep me here,

You put my hand in yours,

But I was never yours to hold

Never gonna give you hope

Never gonna let you grow

Never gonna feel you in my bones

'Cos I was never yours to hold.

Never gonna loose control

Never gonna beat the heart you stole

I'll be burning bright out on my own

'Cos I was never yours to hold.

I was never yours to hold.

Cause you built love inside a vacant home,

You put my hand in yours,

But I was never yours to hold.

You knew my fears would always keep me here,

You put my hand in yours,

But I was never yours to hold

I was never yours to hold, no.

I was never yours to hold, no.

I was never yours to hold, no.
