 Struggling with Not Mine? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Losing touch with reality
Claiming hearts that were meant to be
Truth be told, don’t know what to think
As time goes by, my will only seems to shrink
I can dream fine
But when I open my eyes
I seem to realize
This world is not mine by design
Utterly destroyed by
The pretenses and the lies
I hoped for the stars to align
I know there’s no perfect light
I need something to brighten my sight
When all your prayers can't find no ears
And regrets soil your atmosphere
You know all good comes to an end
Though no one seems to comprehend
I can dream fine
But when I open my eyes
I come to realize
This world is not mine by design
Utterly destroyed by
The pretenses and the lies
I hoped for the stars to align
I know there’s no perfect light
I need something to brighten my sight
And the lies pile up while our world falls apart
And the tears won’t stop until we've bled our heart out
As the mixed signals start to become more clear
No one was born in this world to simply disappear
This world is not mine by design
Utterly destroyed by
The pretenses and the lies
I hoped for the stars to align
I know there’s no perfect light
Can’t help but think we’re all stuck inside
This world is not ours by design
Utterly destroyed by
The pretenses and the lies
We hope for the stars to align
We know there’s no perfect light
We need to make our own place inside
