Never Mine, Still Fine
Track 30 of Mirror Season
[ Lyrics ]
You were never mine—but I’m golden. Sat by the window where we said goodbye, watched your shadow shrink beneath the sky. Didn’t beg for reasons, didn’t ask for more, just smiled like I’d known since the very first door. You wore your freedom like a tailored coat, I wore my longing—then learned to float. No blame in the silence, no ghost in the hall, just two different dreams wearing the same fall. I loved you like summer, deep and in time, but some roots don’t grow in borrowed light. Now I stand in the glow of no disguise— the sun sees me clear through my own skies. You were never mine—but I’m golden, shinin’ without the weight of your name. You were never mine—but I’m golden, never owned, but I’ll never be tamed. —Never owned? Never claimed. —Still rise, still change. —Never yours? Still remain. —Golden, golden—still fine. Saw you at the party, wrapped in new arms, laughed like the past had lost all its harm. I sipped my still water, cool as the moon, no storm in my chest, no need to tune. You were a season I let run its course, not a loss, not a war—just a force. I bent, I breathed, I became my own flame, no guilt in the love that never had a claim. No curse on your doorstep, no tears in the rain, just peace in the math, the truth in the frame. I don’t haunt your history, don’t plead for a sign— I outgrew the weight of your ‘almost’ and ‘why.’ You were never mine—but I’m golden, shinin’ without the weight of your name. You were never mine—but I’m golden, never owned, but I’ll never be tamed. —Never close? Never tied. —Still glow, still rise. —Never yours? I don’t mind. —Golden, golden—still fine. I don’t want a crown you could give. I don’t need a love you could live. My worth wasn’t hiding in your hands— it was building its own damn plan. You were never mine—but I’m golden, blazing in hues you never could name. You were never mine—but I’m golden, never yours, but I’m winning the game. —Never mine? Still divine. —Still shine, still climb. —Never yours? Every time— I say ‘still fine’... You were never mine—but I’m golden. You were never mine—but I’m golden. Still fine… Yeah… golden.
