I Guess It Wasn't Mine

How can you blame me for

The way I never felt before and

All the mistakes that I made

It's just that I was so in love

I couldn't keep you close enough

I held too tight to the reins

Can't keep a moment from passing by

Love's not a thing that you own

Oh, I

I guess it wasn't mine

I didn't mean to lose the love

It took so long to find

I guess it wasn't mine

I wore your heart upon my sleeve

A prize for all the world to see

A child's dream of soul possession

The thought of ever letting to

Was more than I could bear, you know

I just thought of my protection

Love is a gift that you give away

It's not a thing that you own

I could drive myself crazy

Tear myself down

But things will be different

Next time
