Yours to lose

My heart is falling like the rain,

Falling like my tears and the stars,

Falling like my younger self did

When I fell into your arms for the first time.


You made the stars fall,

You made them worth wishing on.

You made me fall in a broken love

Because you never choose which hole you fall into.


I'm fighting the battles

Fighting the tears

Smiling behind pain

Smiling behind closed doors.


You lost me like I lost my battles

Lost me like a game,

Lost me like a voyager in a foreign land

Lost me, broke me, again and again.


Because you knew

That I would only hold your hand

Like I held yours

That I was yours to lose.


But the painful truth is,

My heart can't beat for anyone else,

Because it still belongs

To the one who broke it.


Break me,

Again and again,

Like you broke our promise.

I'm yours to break.


Lose me,

Again and again,

Like you lost your chance.

I'm yours to lose.


Love me,

Again and again,

Like you loved to break me.

I'm yours to love and shatter.
