It Was Mine - AFI

Don’t move, don’t do anything

What we captured got away

Slipped from us, don’t speak

Don’t, don’t say anything

They’ve been recording all we say

For years now

You won’t see them right away

But you’ll hear them singing

Hold me closely now

But don’t, don’t say anything

They’ve come to take me away

And won’t leave until I’m gone, I’m gone

Don’t feel, don’t love anything

Love attracts all those

Who taint the cherished

Don’t try to, to change anything

Nothing pure can ever stay

You won’t see them right away

But you’ll hear them singing

Hold me closely now

But don’t, don’t say anything

They’ve come to take me away

And won’t leave until I’m gone

They’ll say, «Relax, you’ll be fine»

All we love goes away

They’ll take all you let them find

All we love goes away

It was mine, it was mine

You won’t see them right away

But you’ll hear them singing

Hold me closely but don’t say anything

They’ve come to take me away

And won’t leave until I’m gone

Don’t say anything, don’t say anything

They won’t leave until I’m gone, I’m gone
