Dixie Chicks - You Were Mine Lyrics

Complimentary "You Were Mine" Ringtone

I can't find a reason, to let go.
Even though you've found a new love,
and she is what your dreams are made of. 
I can't find a reason to hang on, 
what went wrong can be forgiven, 
without you it ain't worth livin', alone. 

Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night 
and sometimes I scream out your name. 
What right does she have to take you away? 
When for so long you were mine. 

Took out all the pictures of our wedding day,
it was a time of love and laughter, 
"happy ever after". 
But even those old pictures have begun to fade, 
please tell me she is not real, 
and that you are really comin' home, to stay

Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night 
and sometimes I scream out your name. 
What right does she have to take your heart away?
When for so long you were mine. 

I can give you two good reasons
to show you love's not blind. 
He's two and she's four and you know they adore you,
so how can I tell them 
that you changed your mind? 

Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night
and sometimes I scream out your name. 
What right does she have to take your heart away?
When for so long you were mine. 
I remember when you were mine...
