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
