Mine
Phoebe Ryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it went down, it was so hard to breathe
I gave up everything in a slow fall down to the floor
Life was escaping me, I couldn't find myself
'Til it was all lost, not anymore

I'm holding on to all the pieces of my heart's debris
'Til it's time
I'll pull it together and fix myself eventually
And know it's mine

I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine

I know that it's mine no matter what I do
I know that it's mine whether I win or lose
And even though my heart needs to take its time
I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine

Facing the change, but it's still tough to see
At first, I fought it all, I was so mean
I'm still unsure how it's supposed to be
But taking every day now by the skin of my teeth
Until I learn

I'm holding on to all the pieces of my heart's debris
'Til it's time, oh
I'll pull it together and fix myself eventually
And know it's mine

I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine

I know that it's mine no matter what I do
I know that it's mine whether I win or lose
And even though my heart needs to take its time
I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine

I found gold in the wreckage, put it on a necklace
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine
I wear it like a message so I don't forget it
Keepin' it 'cause I, I, I, I know that it's mine

I know that it's mine no matter what I do
I know that it's mine whether I win or lose




And even though my heart needs to take its time
I know that it's mine, I know that it's mine
