With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
I thought about the ghost that we left behind
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper: I love you
The fire in your eyes-- may it never go out
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgement day
You're mine now but you're not my sister
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine now but you're not my child
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're missing my whole point: you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life, the games not over yet
I do not own your soul, don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
But you're not my slave
You're missing my whole point-- you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life-- the games not over
You're mine now but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my slave
With sadness in my heart and clounds in my head
I thought about us both and the lives we led
The pages in a book and pictures on a screen
We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream
One second you are cast just like stones at my feet
But I am not a king please don't worship me
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound whisper: I love you
You're missing my whole point-- you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life-- the games not over yet
I do not own your soul--don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
You're mine
But you're not my slave
You're mine
But you're not my slave
You're mine
You're mine now but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now but you're not my slave
You're mine you're mine you're mine now
But you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine
But you're not my slave
But you're not my slave
