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 holdNever 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.
