You Were Mine

Careful when you leave

I don't have the heart to watch you go

It wasn't supposed to be

How am I always the the last to know?

When the doubt came creeping in

That where you start is where I end

It's gotta be, it's gotta be

That we were doomed before we ever had a go

Before the cracks began to show

You knew it first and now I do too

We're surrounded by a brightly burning moon

Not unlike the night we thought we knew

You belonged to me and I to you

Better if I leave

I don't have the heart to watch you go

It wasn't supposed to be this way

How am I always the last to know?

'Cause when the doubt came creeping in

Where you start is where I end

It's gotta be, it's gotta be

That we were doomed before we ever had a go

Before the cracks began to show

You knew it first and now I do too

We're surrounded by a brightly burning moon

Not unlike the night we thought we knew

You belonged to me, and I to you

Oh, the pain of knowing every petty fight

Might have been spent holding you too tight

If you love someone, let them loose

'Cause we were friends before we held each other's eyes

Before we spoke softly in the night

Before I was yours, you were mine

You were mine

You were mine

You were mine

You were mine
