Lyrics Alison Moyet – When I Was Your Girl

When I was your girl
I didn’t know that I would
End where you begin
More beautiful in your skin

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
