The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now that it's finally over
Now that my eyes are all dry
There's no dreams for me to keep dreaming
And no tear left in me to cry
I'm not the first one
Who'd loved you and lost
But I'm not your has been
I just never was
You didn't leave me this morning
'Cause you never lived here with me
You kept your body at my house
But your love has always been free
So I'm not like the others
I'm different because
I'm not your has been
I just never was
I'm not your has been
And I never have been
I've just never existed in your world
So I may feel rejected
And I may feel lost
But I'm not your has been
I just never was
Never was
