You Were Mine Video (MV)

I had a close friend once, but he left that place
I can still see ugly sunlight on the pretty side of his face
The air is thin with destruction with what we try to restore
And the day breaks through the clouds, like a torch through the crack in the door

I had a close friend once, and I didn't mean
To get so thickly choked up with grief
Can't erase the way in which he left me
But the good memories return occasionally

Yeah, everyone needs a partner in hell
And you were mine

Got your wings of freedom before you could fly
Unafraid of failing, more prepared than I
Sharp and soft, lifting off, only we could see
Oh, you were the strongest side of me

Yeah, everyone needs that kind of optimist
And you were mine

I wish I'd held you, whilst I had the chance
All I have now are your bare bones in my grasp
I'll carry through, even without you, horrors soldiers see
Maybe your missing side will reassure me in my sleep

Yeah, everyone needs a reason to fight
And you were mine
