[Verse 1]
There's a fire burnin' in the basement
That I'd only stoke for you
I'd freeze my whole life
If you felt warmth all the way through
You have given hope
Where hope is hard to find
I hate the man I am
But I'll love him when you're mine

[Chorus]
When you are mine
No, I ain't so angry
When you are mine
This world don't owe me a thing
Since you are mine
Oh, the Lord could take me
And I could die right now
With no qualms or questioning

[Verse 2]
There were Pabst cans on the nightstand
Where your jewelry's layin' now
There's times that made me anxious
But there is beauty in finding out
How the good days come together
Like I always said they'd never
Back when I was younger
And the dark days kept me down
[Chorus]
When you are mine
No, I ain't so angry
When you are mine
This world don't owe me a thing
Since you are mine
Oh, the Lord could take me
And I could die right now
With no qualms or questioning

[Outro]
There's a fire burnin' in the basement
That I'd only stoke for you
I'd freeze my whole life
If you felt warmth all the way through
And you have given hope
Where hope is hard to find
I hate the man I am
But I'll love him when you're mine
