Mine
Sauvane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't mean that you're mine
Spending all day with you, having your keys
Doesn't mean that you're mine
Do you want me honey to be honest with you?
I wasted to much time, I was giving all to you.
People change you know, they can stop being true
We knew each other by heart, still yesterday
But tomorrow we will drift apart.
Nobody told me that love rhymed with hurt.
Your scent on my sheets, this bruise on my neck
Doesn't mean that you're mine
Spending all day with you, carrying your kids
Doesn't mean that you're mine
The lyrics of "Mine" by Sauvane tell a story of a complicated relationship. The first two lines express a physical intimacy shared by the two protagonists, evident from the scent on her sheets and his breath on her chest. However, the singer warns that these actions and experiences do not signify their relationship. Despite spending all day with him and having his keys, she realizes that she is not his. The singer is aware that she is wasting her time on someone who is not committed to her, and she acknowledges that people change, which is a warning sign.
The second verse continues the story, and Sauvane asks her lover if he wants her honesty. She has realized that she has invested too much in their relationship, giving him all of her love without receiving anything in return. The singer has gotten proof that love can not always be trusted, and people can stop being true. The third line of the verse reveals that they both know each other very well. However, despite the deep connection, they would drift apart tomorrow. The singer concludes with the realization that love sometimes rhymes with hurt, showcasing that love is not always a bed of roses.
