love you tightly

it's my reality

you don't belong to me

i know we're living on borrowed time

and when i look at you

i can clearly see

a gift that i may only hope for a while

so while we still have time

i'll love you tightly but hold you loosely

cause you were never mine

no

you were never mine

i'll love you tightly but one day i'm gonna have to let you fly

cause you were never really mine

i've learned the hard way

life is a give and take

you've gotta take it one day at a time

and every minute is a chance to breathe it in

before you know it it will pass us by

so i'll love you tightly but hold you loosely

cause you were never mine

no

you were never mine

i'll love you tightly but one day i'm gonna have to let you fly

cause you were never really mine

oh yeah

you were never really mine

some days i catch myself holding you too tight

cause i know that i can lose you

i don't wanna lose you

some days i catch myself staring at the time

cause i know we're gonna lose it

it's gonna fly by

so in the meantime

i'm gonna love you tightly

i'm gonna love you tightly but hold you loosely

cause you were never mine

no

you were never mine

i'll love you tightly but one day i'm gonna have to let you fly

cause you were never really mine

i'll love you tightly

but hold you loosely

cause one day i'm gonna have to let you fly

cause you were never really mine

i'll love you tightly
