I read a book on the black holes And how they make all of the universe implode I am an atom being drawn into nothingness Can't pull my way out I went to sleep a married wife When I woke up, I was deserted and denied You sent a postcard from your new mistress' mansion On the posh side of town The sky is closing in The winds are getting cold And we're not the same people now As we were before Tell me when did we give in Tell me when did we let it go I'm at loss from words, I'm choking I just silently fall Was I blind Were you ever really mine My mother tells me that I'm strong My friends and children are my reasons to move on Like my father, I move forward and I shake it off 'Cause that's what we do best There really is no room for tears
Between the kids' flus and my job at the café So I keep all the disappointments and betrayals Stored as a lump in my chest I didn't think I would survive Thought this is it, my time is gone I was lost out on the ocean The way you threw away my oars You faded right before my eyes The man I used to know is gone Sixteen years of sweetness obliterated to the core I was yours You were never really mine The sky is closing in The winds are getting cold Will I make through this winter Will I make it at all Tell me why did you give in Tell me why did you let it go I really thought you meant forever Thought you and me would grow old What a lie You were never Never Never really mine
