If You Were Mine
Boyzone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it hurts me so
I wish I could steal you away
But you just won't go
Somethin's holdin you close to him
Somethin I can't see
But come that day that you've had enough
I pray you come running to me
You'd know how good love could be
And if you were mine
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine
Every time I see your face
It lights up my day
But I watch you passin me by
And my sky turns grey
Maybe someday you're gonna see
I'm the one for you
Till then I'll just have to wait
For my dreams to come true
Coz if you were mine
You'd know how good love could be
And if you were mine
I'd love you eternally
If you were mine
My friends keep on tellin me let it go
But what I feel they'll never know
I can't stop my heart beatin so strong for you
But you're with him and not with me
Baby it's as sad as it can be
The lyrics of Boyzone's "If You Were Mine" are a testament to unrequited love. The song tells the story of a man who has feelings for a woman who is already in a relationship. He confesses that seeing her with another man hurts him deeply and that he wishes he could "steal her away" from her current partner. Despite this, he realizes that something is holding her close to her partner, and he can't figure out what it is. However, he reassures her that if she ever decides to leave her partner, he will be there waiting for her with open arms.
The first verse sets the tone for the entire song, with the singer expressing his sadness over the woman's current relationship. He wishes that she could see how good love could be with him, and that he could have a chance to love her eternally, but he knows that it's not that simple. The second verse is more introspective, with the singer admitting that he knows that the woman might never see him the way he sees her, but he can't help the way he feels. Despite his friends' advice to let it go, he can't stop his heart from beating so strongly for her.
Overall, "If You Were Mine" is a poignant and heartfelt song about the pain of unrequited love. It speaks to anyone who has ever loved someone who didn't feel the same way and gives hope that one day, the object of their affection might see them in a different light.

I see what he's doin to you
I have noticed how he treats you, It pains me deeply
And it hurts me so
His actions are affecting me emotionally and causing me great distress
I wish I could steal you away
I desire to take you away from him by any means possible
But you just won't go
You show no interest in leaving him
Somethin's holdin you close to him
There is something that keeps you attached to him
Somethin I can't see
I cannot perceive what it is keeping you with him
But come that day that you've had enough
At the time when you have suffered enough or had enough from him
I pray you come running to me
I hope you run to me for comfort and affection at that time
Coz if you were mine
If you were mine
You'd know how good love could be
You'd have known how amazing being with me would've been
And if you were mine
If you were mine
I'd love you eternally
I would have loved you forever
Every time I see your face
Whenever I look at you
It lights up my day
It brightens and excites my day
But I watch you passing me by
But I observe you walk past me without noticing me
And my sky turns grey
My day becomes dull and gloomy
Maybe someday you're gonna see
Perhaps at some point, you'll realize
I'm the one for you
That I am the perfect match for you
Till then I'll just have to wait
Until then, I'll have to be patient
For my dreams to come true
For my hopes to be fulfilled
My friends keep on telling me let it go
My friends advise me to forget about you
But what I feel they'll never know
But they'll never comprehend what I feel
I can't stop my heart beatin so strong for you
My heart beats with an intense passion for you, I cannot control it
But you're with him and not with me
But you're together with him instead of me
Baby it's as sad as it can be
It's as sorrowful as it could ever be
