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 It can't keep a moment from passin' 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 Thought of ever letting to Was more than I could bear, you know I just thought of my own protection Love is a gift that you give away It's not a thing that you own Oh, I, I guess it wasn't mine I didn't mean to lose the love Took so long to find I guess it wasn't mine I could drive myself crazy Tear myself down But things will be different Next time Love is a gift that you give away It's not a thing that you own 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 guess it wasn't mine I know I love to say it wasn't mine It took so long to find I had to walk away, had to walk away, yeah Oh, not again, it's wrong I guess it wasn't mine after all
