  • 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
    When I was your girl Writer/s: ALISON MOYET, GUY SIGSWORTH
