When you were, when you were mine
When you were, when you were mine
When you were, when you were mine

There's one thing they say is true
I didn't know what I had until I lost you
But seeing you with him is clear
'Cause it was killing me, killing me
Wish I'd held you closer
Then maybe your love would not be over
Why didn't I when you were here
When were feeling me, feeling me

(I had) everything I wanted
I was blind and I couldn't see
That it was a future
That was standing right in front of me
Now you're looking at him
The way that you used to look at me
Now I realise

When you were mine
I should've told you that you're beautiful
When you were mine
Should've never let you feel invisible
When you were mine
Tried to be a player but I dropped the ball
If I could rewind back to the time
When you were mine
Would never ever never let you go
When you were mine
Would've been so good but now we'll never know
It kills me inside
To know our story will remain untold
How could I tell you goodbye
When you were mine
Ohh, yeahh
As I watch you walk away
The part of me dies inside
I cannot hide, I cannot lie to you
Can't see myself with someone new
What am I gonna do, gonna do
The mistakes that I made
Are slappin' me in the face
I'm feeling so outta place
Some things you just can't replace, ooh

(I had) everything I wanted
I was blind and I couldn't see
That it was a future
That was standing right in front of me
Standing right in front of me
Tell me do you remember
How you always used to look at me
(Back when you)
Back when you were mine, girl

When you were mine
I should've told you that you're beautiful
When you were mine
Should've never let you feel invisible
When you were mine
Tried to be a player but I dropped the ball
If I could rewind back to the time
When you were mine
Would never ever never let you go
When you were mine
Would've been so good but now we'll never know
It kills me inside
To know our story will remain untold
How could I tell you goodbye
When you were mine
I should've told you that you're beautiful
(That you're beautiful)
When you were mine
Should've never let you feel invisible (invisible)
When you were mine
Tried to be a player but I dropped the ball
If I could rewind (yeahh) back to the time
When you were mine (whoo)

Back when you were
Back when you were
(I'm always thinking 'bout you)
Back when you were
(When you were mine)
Back when you were
Back when you were
Back when you were
(It kills me inside)
Back when you were
Back when you were
Back when you were
(How could I tell you goodbye)
When you were mine
