Mine To Love

Kristin Chenoweth


You happened like a sudden storm
That caught me my surprise
In an accidental devastating moment of my life

You upset me with your kindness
You upset me with your smile
You cracked my heart wide open
And I felt alive for a little while

You were mine, mine to hold in the rain out in the cold
With a stolen cup of coffee at a place that no one knows
You were mine just enough
That each breath I take keeps getting tough
And every kiss is running out of time
You were mine, but you were never mine to love

We kept each other's secrets
And we never made demands
It was so exciting never making any kind of plans
We tore up all the rule books
And we cast them to the wind
Now I'm left just chasing pages trying find myself again

You were mine, mine
To hold sharing tales we never told
On a long lost day last summer
With the sand beneath our toes

You were mine, just enough
That each breath I take keeps getting tough
And every kiss is running out of time
You were mine, but you were never mine to love

You were mine just for a minute like a roller-coaster ride
I was scared when I got in it then I laughed until I cried
Now I'm back at the beginning and I'm walking out the door
'Cause you know I just can't do this anymore
Oh you know I just can't do it anymore

You were mine, mine
To hold now the leaves are turning gold
And the year we spent together burns forever in my soul
You were mine just enough
That each breath I take keeps getting tough

And every kiss is running out of time
Wish me luck I'll be fine
You were mine, but you were never mine to love
