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 muchYou 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 thatNot a day goes by, I don't think of you
(Do you ever think of me when you're alone)
Or I don't ask myself why
(Do you ever wonder how things could have gone)
If everything's so perfect now
(Do you ever think of me and start to cry)
Why do I cry all the time?
I didn't cry
When you were my girl
When you were my girlWhen 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 areAnd 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 getNot a day goes by, I don't think of you
(Do you ever think of me when you're alone)
Or I don't ask myself why
(Do you ever wonder how things could have gone)
If everything's so perfect now
(Do you ever think of me and start to cry)
Why do I cry all the time?
I didn't cry
When you were my girl
When you were my girlAnd 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, yeahI don't understand why
We let something so beautiful
Just fade and die
We should have triedOne more time
When you were my girl
When you were my girl
