You said it was nothing, just words on a screen
But you hid your phone every time I would lean
You’d pull me in closer, say, “Baby, we’re fine”
While giving away what I thought was mine

I was right there beside you, your hand holding mine
But something was missing, I just couldn’t find
You looked in my eyes, said you’d never lie
While part of your heart was somewhere outside

Chorus

You were here, but you weren’t mine
You were mine, but you weren’t mine
Right beside me, somewhere else that night
I had your hands, but I never had your mind

You were here, but you weren’t mine
You were mine, but you weren’t mine
I gave you my heart, you gave her your time
You were here, but you weren’t mine

Verse 2

Then I saw the words, “I wish you were here”
And everything changed when I read them so clear
You were lying beside me, but wanting away
And I was still trusting the things you would say

I begged you for words you gave her for free
I wanted the part you gave so easily
And that’s what still hurts when I think of that night—
I was loving you
While you were looking outside

Bridge

Did you think of her when you held me close?
Did she know about me? Did she know you chose
To come home to me, then dream of her instead?
Did you kiss me goodnight
With her in your head?

I was sleeping beside you
Thinking I was safe
You were the closest to me
And still so far away

Final Chorus

You were here, but you weren’t mine
You were mine, but you weren’t mine
Right beside me, somewhere else inside
I had your hands, but I never had your mind

You were here, but you weren’t mine
God, you were mine, but you weren’t mine
I gave you my heart, you gave her your time
You were here…
But you weren’t mine.

Outro

You were here…
You were here…

But you weren’t mine.
