Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God only knows all the things I been thru
Enough, it's killin me when you're gone
Thought I was stronger but when you're far I fall
No matter what I search for all the reason is you
You had me at every movement you do
Unlocked me 'till the bottom of my heart
Been waitin in vain for a love like yours till the summer's gone
When we wake up oh i wanna make it up 'till you end up in my arms
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, oh
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, Yeah
Baby, tell me after all, do I deserve it?
Checkin on you now that I'm invited
I wonder if luck's on my side
While I'm tryin, please be down for a while
Imma show ya now Im bettering
Baby, please tell me you're listening
Hop in a passenger seat, I'm taking the wheel
Take your faith with you if you will
Been waitin in vain for a love like yours till the summer's gone
When we wake up oh i wanna make it up 'till you end up in my arms
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, oh
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, Yeah
I been so rushed
I wasn't upright
The wake up call I always run to
And everytime I close my eyes, no, I don't wanna
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, oh
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, Yeah
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, oh
I dont wanna lose my light
Imma swallow my pride and make you mine, Yeah
The lyrics to Chriselda's song "Mine" describe a person who has been fighting their feelings for someone they're attracted to. They've been through a lot, and when the person they desire is gone, they crave their presence. The singer feels that no matter what they do or who they search for, the only reason they want someone is because of the person they're interested in. The singer then talks about waiting for a love like theirs until the summer is gone, emphasizing how much they want to be with them. They then express their desire not to lose their "light," or their happiness and hope, and make the person they are attracted to theirs.
The lyrics are touching and straightforward, describing the singer's feelings of longing and desire for someone. The song gives a sense of how powerful feelings of attraction can be and how they can take over a person's life. The line "enough, it's killing me when you're gone," is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer is barely hanging on when the person they're attracted to is not around.
