If I could have you as my own
I’d breathe into you every gulp of air
Wrap around you like a blanket
Remove all the coats of pain you wear

I’d live just to see you smile
And die to take away your fears
If I could have you as my own
Inside me there’d be no tears

I would use all the strength
I had each day
To make your life fulfilled
I would hold your insecurities
And use them up to build

In you, courage and confidence
For you to live your very best life
If I could have you as my own
I’d give all I have to be your wife
In my every thought you’re there
In every wish you’re in my heart

If I could have you as my own
No wind could shake or tear us apart
I’d use up all my energy
To give you a thousand suns
Each moment and new memory
Would only become happier ones

But each minute of every single day
I know I can’t have you as my own
So my heart bleeds and wastes in pain
I watch you seek out others
And cry and cry in vain

Now I wake up every morning
Knowing I have nothing more to gain.
