(Just to know that you were mine to lose)

If you were mine to lose, I'd gladly let you go
'Cause that would mean you once belonged to me
I'd gladly face the heartache of losin' you some day
'Cause at least I'd have a memory

Through all the years I've known you, you never noticed me
Just a friend, that's all I've been to you
I'd gladly let you break my heart for just one memory
Just to know that you were mine to lose

If I could hold you just one time
For one short moment Heaven would be mine
If you were mine to lose, I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose

Oh, if I could hold you just one time
For one short moment Heaven would be mine
Oh, if you were mine to lose, I'd gladly let you go
Just to know that you were mine to lose
