"It Was Mine" lyrics

"It Was Mine"

Don't move, don't do anything
What we captured got away
Slipped from us, don't speak
Don't, don't say anything
They've been recording all we say
For years now

You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely now
But don't, don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone, I'm gone

Don't feel, don't love anything
Love attracts all those
Who taint the cherished
Don't try to, to change anything
Nothing pure can ever stay

You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely now
But don't, don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone

They'll say, "Relax, you'll be fine"
All we love goes away
They'll take all you let them find
All we love goes away
It was mine, it was mine

You won't see them right away
But you'll hear them singing
Hold me closely but don't say anything
They've come to take me away
And won't leave until I'm gone

Don't say anything, don't say anything
They won't leave until I'm gone, I'm gone
