Mine to Lose

I've been biding my time while You've been biting your tongue Take me for a long drive Count 1000 to 1 I'm belly-up but you hide Arms licked red by the sun Time has turned fire to ice Another story's been spun Babe, you were mine to lose And I feared the day when you'd have to choose There is no way I can hide the truth And I feel it now babe You were mine to lose Why'd I give you the wheel Just before the big storm? I got chills, they were real But you never felt warm Put no words to how you feel Force myself to your form Give me space so I can heal Why am I always cut short? Babe, you were mine to lose And I feared the day when you'd have to choose There is no way I can hide the truth And I feel it now babe You were mine to lose My thoughts race in figure 8's Your body doesn't move Always figure it out late Illiterate to the room You're phasing in and out, here then not Spilling shame on the moon Thought I practiced this thing through I boil, but I'm never cool Babe, you were mine to lose And I feared the day when you'd have to choose There is no way I can hide the truth And I feel it now babe You were mine to lose
