"When You Were Mine" lyrics

On my mind
But I know that I don't deserve you
Is he better than I?
Couldn't do the same if he tried

Lady, you know know know know know
I got a feeling we should've had longer
Baby, I want you
I should've known not to let you go

Holding onto all this loving
Now that we got nothing
Lady, you know that I wouldn't lie
Wasn't it better when you were mine?
Holding onto all this loving
Now that we got nothing
Lady, you know that I wouldn't lie
Wasn't it better when you were mine?

Yeah, I hope you're happy. That's all I wish for you.
And one day when you're married, and you say I do
And you have something borrowed and I'm the something blue
They'll be a little bit of me that wonders if us two
Could've seen it through to another life, another time
Both of us up in love like it never dies
Moving into that house on the other side
That little place that we dream in the night time
But for now while I'm stuck on the train
And un-stuck by a memory till nothings the same
Nothing but pain for a day while you're stuck on my brain
I'll take a moment to hold what could've been if it stayed
A friend said you're seeing someone new
And at first didn't believe it was true
He said he heard it through the grapevine, breaking the news
She moved on to start again, and maybe you should too

Holding onto all this loving
Now that we got nothing
Lady, you know that I wouldn't lie
Wasn't it better when you were mine?
Holding onto all this loving
Now that we got nothing
Lady, you know that I wouldn't lie
Wasn't it better when you were mine?
