You Were Mine
The Chicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though you've found a new love
And she's what your dreams are made of
I can find a reason to hang on
What went wrong can be forgiven
Without you, it ain't worth livin' alone
Sometimes I wake up crying at night
What right does she have to take you away
When for so long, you were mine?
I 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's not real
And that you're really coming home to stay
Sometimes I wake up crying 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 you've changed your mind?
Sometimes I wake up crying 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
The Chicks' You Were Mine is a poignant song about heartbreak and the struggle to let go of a former lover. The singer confesses that she can't find a reason to move on, even though her ex-partner has found someone else who seems perfect for him. The pain of losing him is too much, and she cannot imagine living without him. She longs for him and cries out his name every night. The lyrics reveal a sense of bitterness towards the new love interest and a desire to reclaim what once belonged to her. The singer even questions what right the new woman has to take him away, alluding to the idea that he was hers first.
The second verse is particularly poignant as the singer reminisces about their wedding day, a time of love and laughter, happy ever after. However, the joy of the memories now feels bittersweet as she comes to terms with the fact that her former partner has moved on. She wishes that she could turn back the clock and that the new woman wasn't real, that her love would come back to her. The final verse takes a different turn as she talks about their children - two and four years old - who adore their father. She cannot comprehend how to tell the children that their father has changed his mind and left them. The singer is left in utter despair, grappling with questions that do not have any easy answers.
