Alexander 23 Yours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hours on the phone, you never liked to be alone
Until one night, I went to bed without a call
You're seeing someone new, he said he heard I'm a great dude
I shoulda seen it from the jump, you'd never fall

[Pre-Chorus]
You took a lighter to my heart
And smoked me like a Winston
I lit the way right to him
[Chorus]
And I know it shouldn't hurt, but it really does
'Cause you were never mine, but, God, does it suck
Missing you so bad feels pathetic because
You were never mine, but, baby, I was yours
I was yours

[Post-Chorus]
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
I was yours

[Verse 2]
I thought that you could read my mind, except the things I kept inside
I really wanted you to know you never read
Like I'm 1984, a cautious tale that you ignored
You picked your version of the truth and left me for dead

[Pre-Chorus]
You took a lighter to my heart (Aah) And smoked me like a Winston (Ah-aah)
I lit the way right to him (Aah, ah-aah)

[Chorus]
And I know it shouldn't hurt, but it really does
'Cause you were never mine, but, God, does it suck
Missing you so bad feels pathetic because
You were never mine, but, baby, I was yours
I was yours
[Post-Chorus]
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
I was yours

[Bridge]
I loved you from a distance, oh
I said no words and hoped you'd listen, oh
But now a part of me is missing, oh
It gets more lost each time you turn away, you turn away to kiss him

[Chorus]
It shouldn't hurt, but it really does
'Cause you were never mine, but, God, does it suck
Missing you so bad feels pathetic as f*ck
'Cause you were never mine, but, baby, I was yours
I was yours

[Outro]
I was yours
I was yours
I was yours
I was yours, ooh-ooh
