The very same ear that trembles with each kiss
Hasn’t heard a single word since I pressed my lips to it
It’s not like I’ve got anything to say
But pretending like you care can go a long way

And the time it takes to fall apart is miniscule
I used to only think in terms of me and you

Was I ever yours?
Was I ever more?
Was I ever more than a surrogate
Who found his way attached to it
Was I ever yours?

Your hands are as cold as the floor I’ve been sleeping on
I’ve organized a place to lie right beneath your thumb
And I could be tall if only I could find my legs to stand
But the tone of your voice proves I’m incapable of that

And the time it took to come to terms was far too long
A second glance was irrelevant, I knew that you were gone

Was I ever yours?
Was I ever more?
Was I ever more than a spare tire
You threw away at the wayside
Was I ever yours?

Yours, yours

Was I ever more than a surrogate
Who found his way attached to it
Was I ever yours?
