Lyrics of When you were my girl

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
(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

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

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
