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      Chorus:   Not 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 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      Chorus      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
