When You Were Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's hard to believe it
You're with someone else
Oh I never thought it'd happen to me
Well I can't receive it
Cuz it hurts so much
To think that you're happy with another girl, you see
Do you ever think of the past
Ever reminiscing of the special times we had
Not for an hour, & not for a day
But a second of me in your mind can ease my pain
We used to laugh, we used to cry together
Inseparable were we though any kind of weather
But things have changed; you're not the same
When you were mine
So do you hold her like you hold me
And do you tell her things that bring me instant jealousy
Do you love her; I mean honestly?
Cuz from one girl to the other it appears to be
Such commotion inside of me
Just to know another queen is ruler over me
From the beginning, even to the end
I know I can't forget you; how could you with me
We used to laugh, we used to cry together
Inseparable were we though any kind of weather
But things have changed; you're not the same
When you were mine
When you were mine
We used to laugh, we used to cry together
Inseparable were we though any kind of weather
But things have changed; you're not the same
Since you were mine
