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
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
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
When I was your girl
