Not Mine

YOU NOT MINE

Intro – Soft Piano

Mmm...

Ohhh...

I finally see it now

I was holding on

To somebody I never had...

Verse 1

I know the way you take your coffee

I know the songs that make you smile

I know when something's on your mind

Before you say a word sometimes

I know the way you hold me closer

When the room is getting cold

But knowing everything about you

Doesn't mean you're mine to hold

And every time I call this love

You find a way to change the name

I keep giving you my heart

While you keep giving me the blame

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I was seeing

What I wanted to believe

Maybe you were loving me

Just enough to keep me from leaving

Chorus

But you're not mine

No matter how I wish you were

You're not mine

And loving you won't change the words

I can't keep calling this forever

When forever's only on my side

I gave you all there was to give

But you're not mine

No, you're not mine...

Verse 2

I used to think if I loved harder

You would finally understand

That everything you've been searching for

Was right here in your hands

But love shouldn't have to beg you

Love shouldn't have to prove

Why am I fighting for a heart

That never had to choose?

So tonight I'm taking back

Every promise that I made

Not because I never loved you

But I finally love myself enough to walk away

Pre-Chorus

I can't keep pretending

That someday you'll change your mind

I deserve somebody

Who knows they want this love of mine

Chorus

'Cause you're not mine

No matter how I wish you were

You're not mine

And loving you won't change the words

I can't keep calling this forever

When forever's only on my side

I gave you all there was to give

But you're not mine

Bridge – Vocal Build

Oh, I prayed for us

I stayed for us

Gave everything I had for us

Through every lonely night

Every tear I cried

I kept believing love would make it right

But I can't make your heart

Feel what it won't feel

And I can't call it love

If I'm the only one who knows it's real

So I'm letting go...

Ohhhh, I'm letting go!

KEY CHANGE – Final Chorus

YOU'RE NOT MINE!

And this time I can finally say it

You're not mine!

And I don't have to be afraid of it

There's somebody somewhere waiting

Who won't make me question where I stand

And someday I'll give this heart again

To someone who understands

That love don't hide!

Love don't lie!

Love doesn't leave you asking why!

I wanted you

Lord knows I tried

But wanting you won't make you mine

You're not mine...

No, no, no...

You're not mine...

Outro – Piano + Background Vocals

(Not mine...)

And I'm gonna be alright

(Not mine...)

I'm walking into my own light

I loved you enough to stay

Now I love me enough to say...

You're not mine.
