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
