lyrics

V1:
You never liked it much in Toronto,
I couldn’t blame you we were running away.
Thought the plane would fix all our problems but it didn’t work that way.

I’d hop the street car to the west side, just to see those smile lines on your face,
But I felt the pain in your eyes, I couldn’t take that away.

Chorus:
And I thought maybe if we could just go back to Halifax,
Maybe if we could just find a little greener grass,
Maybe if you’d made up your mind,
Truth is you were never really mine.

V2:
See she can’t love you back like me,
And she’ll keep taking from you selfishly,
But over and over you’ll choose her above me,
Your cups never full cause it’s always half empty.

And I’m always finding silver linings.
Queen of excuses that I crafted just for you,
And even though I knew so much better, I still couldn’t let go of you.

Chorus:
And I thought maybe if we could just go back to Halifax,
Maybe if we could just find a little greener grass,
Maybe if you’d made up your mind,
Truth is you were never really mine.

Bridge:
Cause love made me your fool, could have walked away but I pushed through I was so in love with you.
No matter how hard I fought for us, things kept falling apart for us, truth is you were never really mine.
Maybe if we could just go back to Halifax,
Maybe if we could just find a little greener grass,
Maybe if you’d made up your mind,
Truth is you were never really mine.
