Never Your Girl Lyrics

For a long time I pretended there would be a perfect end;
that for now it didn't matter.
Turn the tourniquet again.
And all hands here without hearts don't know what they started.

You can't say you love me 'cause I know where we've been.
You can't say you love me and do it all again.

All the sparrows in the attic, they get quieter every day.
All their singing got them nowhere.Beth Thornley - Never Your Girl - http://motolyrics.com/beth-thornley/never-your-girl-lyrics.html
Oh, they wish they never came.
And the lost here and the scorned wish they'd never started.

Oh, it's just a line between here and gone.
Oh, all of that time on a lost cause.

And I've never quite forgotten how you promised me the world.
How I thought that meant you loved me
but I was never your girl.
