When you were my girl
There were times you'd look at me
And I knew exactly,
How it felt to be loved
When you were my girl,
I don't know if I told you
But whenever I'd hold you,
It scared me so much
You were all that I needed,
You were all that I had
The one I could turn to,
When the world had gone mad
And I guess I just wanted,
For you to know that
Not a day goes by
I don't think of you
Or I don't ask myself why
If everything's so perfect now
Why do I cry all the time
I didn't cry
When you were my girl
Oh when you were my girl
When I was your man,
If I took you for granted
Please understand it was my foolish heart
Girl you were my best friend,
Baby your love complete me
I loved you completely,
Just as you are
And if you couldn't feel that,
Then how I regret
That I never told you,
All the things I should've said
But I guess that's the one chance
That I'll never get
Not a day goes by
I don't think of you
Or I don't ask myself why
If everything's so perfect now
Why do I cry all the time
I didn't cry
And now I'm walking this world without you
And with every step I take
I find out every day
How much further my heart can break
Oh yeah
I don't understand why
We let something so beautiful
Just fade and die
We should have tried
One more time
When you were my girl
When you were my girl
Oh yeah
