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 go  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
