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

I listen to my heartbeat and I try to follow where it leads me That's right I don't wake up in the shadows anymore I can finally breathe I did a little deep down searching Took a little time to work it through But I found everything the day that I had you I was once the lost one Like a wayward child Now you're the light that leads the way I can melt the drops of freezin' rain I will fly in and save the day I will always try to make it better than it was for me You'll always be the first one in my prayers Just close your eyes and I am there It's a better world since you're my boy I'll always be your girl I'm picking up all the pieces When I put em back together I'm like new 'Cause my greatest wish has already come true We'll always be connected baby Like a button to a sleeve And this lullaby will send you off to sleep It's hard to imagine my life before you 'Cause you're the light that leads the way I can melt the drops of freezin' rain I will fly in and save the day I will always try to make it better than it was for me You'll always be the first one in my prayers Just close your eyes and I am there It's a better world since you're my boy I'll always be your girl I'll be holding the rope if you tumble and fall There is love after love after all We'll always be connected baby You're like a button on my sleeve And this lullaby I can melt the drops of freezing rain I will fly in and save the day I will always try to make it better than it was for me You'll always be the first one in my prayers Just close your eyes and I am there It's a better world since you're my boy I'll always be your girl Your girl

I scream at you for sharing I curse you just for caring I hate the clothes you're wearing They're so pretty I tell you not to see me I tell you not to feel me I make your life a drag It's such a pity I watch your warm glow paling I watch your sparkle fading You realize you're tailing 'Cause you're so good I don't mean to upset you But there's so much crying to get through If only I could make it easier Then I would I wish I was your mother I wish I'd been your father And then I would've seen you Would have been you as a child Played houses with your sisters And wrestled with your brothers And then who knows I might have felt a family for a while It's no use me pretending You give and I do all the spending Is there a happy ending? I don't think so 'Cause even if we make it I'll be too far out to take it You'll have to try and shake it Through my head I wish I was your mother I wish I'd been your father And then I would've seen you Would have been you as a child Played houses with your sisters And wrestled with all your brothers And then who knows I might have felt a family for a while

Steadfast forecast this was always meant to be Sent down by the angels Heartbreak can't fade all the plans that were made By a baby in a manger Bright light so bright it was shining like a north star Answer to a prayer How could I have known, that you would come along When I was a little girl I wondered who I'd give all my love to I asked Santa who he'd recommend It's hard to believe I was so innocent As a little girl looking at the world Didn't know that love could break me I was lying in my tears on the ground Couldn't see where God would take me Here I am now looking at you Got me thinking that love could save me How could I have known, that you would come along When I was a little girl I wondered who I'd give all my love to I asked Santa who he'd recommend It's hard to believe I was so innocent When I was a little girl I had love at the top of my wish list All my dreams were so unlimited It's hard to believe I was so innocent Why do you feel so much like home to me (Home to me) Why do you feel so much like home to me When I was a little girl I wondered who I'd give all my love to I asked Santa who he'd recommend It's hard to believe I was so innocent When I was a little girl I had love at the top of my wish list All my dreams were so unlimited It's hard to believe I was so innocent Why do you feel so much like home to me

I tell you I can visualise it all Too real it all seems But once again, runnin' away with me But once again, runnin' away with me This couldn't be a dream Runnin' away with me Runnin' away with me And I stop myself for a minute See if my heart's still in it Say a few things just to win it Funny how it works out innit? And told her, "Some things have their time How can I be yours if you're not mine?" She said, "They should take this pain And give it a name" Tonight, I wish I was your boy (Run away from me, run away from me) I (Run away from me, run away from me) Tonight, I think I fucked it royally (Run away from me, run away from me) (Run away from me, run away from me) Give yourself a new name Change your voice on the train Have her complain about your fame Tell me that it's all a rigged game She told me, "Some things just take time How can you be sure if you won't try?" She said, "I guess I'll take this pain Instead of your name" Tonight, I wish I was your boy (Run away from me, run away from me) I (Run away from me, run away from me) Tonight, I think I fucked it royally (Run away from me, run away from me) (Run away from me, run away from me) And it's been playing on my mind Unfortunately, I've been to this place in my life far too many times Sunday's nearly over so I'll just lie awake Tonight, I wish I was your boy, I Tonight, I think I fucked it royally And tonight, I wish I was your boy (Run away from me, run away from me) I (Run away from me, run away from me) Tonight, I think I fucked it royally (Run away from me, run away from me) (Run away from me, run away from me)

Don't say one thing one day, Then something else the next day. I'm trying to keep up with you - It's hard enough when you speak clearly, But when you're confused, It's like a goods train running through these rooms. And I'm reading more into your words than you have put into them, And that's my problem, but you tied these knots, now you undo them. You undo them. Oh and think before you speak my darling. Cause with your troubled mind, You're like a goods train running through my life. We all walk through this world alone, We keep ourselves untouched, unknown. You look up to the sky above you, Read this there - I love you. Oh it's written there, You know I love you, love you, love you. But with your troubled mind, You're like a goods train running through my life. And when you're down, You bring me down too, And babe that's something I would not do. I know it's hard, yeah I know it's hard, And baby that's something I don't disregard. But with your troubled mind, You're like a goods train running through my life.
