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)
