When I was your girl

I didn't know

that I would

end where you begin

More beautiful in your skin

No matter of regret

This loosening curl

Teasing you out

when I was your girl

In my room

You said we'll stay

here for an endless year

Close the door

we're letting no one near

When I was your girl

When I was your girl

And then today

All the nightmares came my way

All the tears I tried to stay

You were never satisfied

When I was your girl

When I was your girl

And when I was she

I'd put on every coat

To wear the weather down

But even in the sun

You said you tasted rain

I watched you unfurl

You held on to me

When I was your girl

In my cups

I see you watching

from the edge of the bed

I'm sinking words

that you never said

When I was your girl

When I was your girl

And then today

I'll be keeping out your way

Every debt they owe I pay

They were never satisfied

When I was your girl

When I was your girl

We tore out a page

Impolitely quit the stage

Into corners sweep our rage

I would never leave you crying

When I was your girl

When I was your girl

When I was your girl

When I was your girl
