Not My Slave
With sadness in my heart and joy in my mind
I thought about the ghosts that we left behind
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"
With fire in your eyes, may it never go out
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgment day?
You're mine now, but you're not my sister
You're mine now, but you're not my slave
You're mine now, but you're not my child
You're mine now, but you're not my slave
You're missing the whole point, you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life, the game's not over yet
I do not own your soul, don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
Ooh, but you're not my slave
You're missing the whole point, you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life, the game's not over
You're mine, but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine, but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave
With sand in my heart and clouds in my head
I thought about us both and the life we led
From pages in a book and pictures on a screen
We make ourselves like clay from someone else's dream
One second, you are cast just like stones at my feet
But I am not a king, please don't worship me
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"
You're missing the whole point, you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life, the game's not over yet
I do not own your soul, don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
You're mine, ooh, but you're not my slave
You're mine, ooh, but you're not my slave
You're mine now, but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine, but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine, you're mine, yeah (but you're not my slave)
I thought about the ghosts that we left behind
With everyone around telling us what to do
With deafening sound, whisper, "I love you"
With fire in your eyes, may it never go out
The sweetness of your tears make it feel like night
I see no escape from the roles we always play
What do we have to prove on this judgment day?
You're mine now, but you're not my sister
You're mine now, but you're not my slave
You're mine now, but you're not my child
You're mine now, but you're not my slave
You're missing the whole point, you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life, the game's not over yet
I do not own your soul, don't want you in a cage
I only want your heart to find a special place
Ooh, but you're not my slave
You're missing the whole point, you're not my little pet
Don't throw away your life, the game's not over
You're mine, but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine, but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave
With sand in my heart and clouds in my head

You're mine, ooh, but you're not my slave
You're mine, ooh, but you're not my slave
You're mine now, but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my sister (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine, but you're not my child (you're mine)
You're mine now, but you're not my slave (you're mine)
You're mine, you're mine, yeah (but you're not my slave)
