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
