(Intro Verse) /Well here's song number three, another song outta me/ Tied in, died in, can't escape from out of me/ Another victim to the wave, again lost out at sea/ Depression in the flesh, it won't bow out of me/ Still smell your scent in the bed which I sleep/ And when I dream, in it creeps, and I swear I hear you speak/ But the loss you left me with wasn't built for the meek/ And it's so hard to stomach cause the reason is weak/
(Hook) (Cause You're Mine....)/ I had to choke on my pride/(Cause You're Mine....)/ I tried not to collide (Cause You're Mine....)/ I held hope 'till it died/ And you played it off like....
We had our in's and our outs, hell I took on the chin/ Every time you broke down, I went and built you up again/ Lover and a friend, tried to thicken up your skin/ Asking pennies for your thoughts, you felt conflicted with your tin/ It's like the tears never stopped, you might have thought it was scripted/ Cause every other minute, new reason to pivot/ If you weren't digging graves, they were ridiculous ditches/ I start to point them out, you start getting defensive/ When we first split, you asked to do it in person/ And I showed and I talked cause I felt you deserved it/ You cried, I cried, I felt a feeling of worthless/ So I mustered up a laugh and tried to smile through the nervous/ Poked you and you prodded, tried to get me to open/ Eventually relented and I showed my corrosion/ Watched you evoke and then mold my emotion// And for what? (Cause Your Mine…)/
Show after show, man we did them together/ I’d stare like a kid with a thought of forever/ I couldn’t think of anything more intimate baby/ Than singing out with you, it was different baby/ Eyeliner, skirt, you looked sensuous baby/ Unrequited love, it felt genuine baby/ Laid vocals, did tracks, curled up, kicked back/ If anything put me at ease, well it’s that/ That mirror, our reflection, well now it’s cracked/ So now I pine for a Jones that I won’t get back/ Any thought of love, well, now it’s lapsed/ And it’s sad…../
(Hook) (Cause You're Mine....)/ I had to choke on my pride/(Cause You're Mine....)/ I tried not to collide (Cause You're Mine....)/ I held hope 'till it died/ And you played it off like....
Still ponder on our love, it’s been a couple of months/ I could sit and I could stunt, but what’s the good in a front?/ Exchange calls and texts and such, when’s it’s ever enough/ All my people like, Crocker, man, what in the fuck?/ It’s done, you know it’s done, why put your face to the sun/ You enjoy getting burnt, is it giggles and fun?/ If that love was a arm, it’s now a pitiful nub/ But still you’re still scrubbed out, though surgery’s done/ I say, it isn’t just me, man read this text here/ Dude, let it go, she won’t be here next year/ It’s obvious she’s loves me, she just hate’s that I know it/ It’s why the bush is still beaten, with no signal of closure/
So ho hum, ditty, ditty dum/ Afraid of getting back, cause it’ll look like I won/ Like she’ll be stepping back, to the square root of 1/ But I wish you wouldn’t…../ (Cause You’re Mine)
At least that’s what I believe, maybe it is naive/ Maybe every card’s played, not a one up your sleeve/ But the last time we met, I saw you struggle to breathe/ Your eyes start to dance like…/
Ms. Keane, Ms. Keane, oh what a web we’ve weaved/ Ms. Keane, Ms. Keane, how many one more things?/ Does he know when you’re with him, that you’re thinking of me?/ Maybe I’m just tripping, but it’s easy to see…./
The never-ending saga, songs, limitless fodder/ Pen it, feel it brimming, though my sentiment’s bothered, and it’s/ But for now, I’ma just let the instruments holler/
Yeah, I feel the break, and it’s barely even/ don’t sleep much at all and I’m rarely eating/ Yeah I’m still spitting but I’m scarcely singing/ And I’m only half now, love, sincerely, Stephen/
