Don't Think You're Mine
Longing for Love: A Journey of Independence
Lyrics
Waiting by the phone, waiting all alone
Waiting for a call, feeling lonely
When will you be home, won't you call me?
Asking when the person will be home and urging them to call
You know I want you near; you know I love you dear
Expressing a desire for the person to be close, emphasizing love
I just want to hear you say you love me
Yearning to hear the words "I love you" from the person
Where do you run to?
Pondering where the person goes
Should I be sitting, thinking of you
Questioning if the singer should be constantly thinking about the person
When I just don't think you're mine?
Expressing doubt about the person's commitment or ownership in the relationship
Shoulda listened to the way you told me you'd never stick around
Regretting not heeding warnings about the person's lack of commitment
Coulda gone by now and found a new guy
Contemplating the possibility of moving on and finding someone new
But the way you keep on rollin' in made me change my mind again
Changed perspective due to the person's persistent presence, leading to indecision
And I just can't win until I say goodbye
Expressing frustration and a realization that saying goodbye is necessary
Fell out of the nest but I'm fine on my own
Metaphorically falling out of a relationship but asserting independence
And you won't be the reason I haven't grown
Asserting that the person won't hinder personal growth
I get to feeling numb, twiddling my thumbs
Feeling emotionally numb and waiting for someone who is consistently absent
Waiting for someone who's always long gone
Expressing a sense of resignation and acceptance of the person's absence
And I start to feeling fine, done with tears and wine
Feeling content and ready to move on from emotional pain
And with the sunshine, I've got a new song
Finding joy and inspiration in a new phase of life, symbolized by sunshine and a new song
