When you were mine
I never once asked why
I was told the sun always lit up the sky
When you were mine
We lived days one day at a time
Before I knew what loneliness could feel like
When you were mine
I aimed where it hurt
Crossed every line
Left you behind
There's no going back
To a place like that
I was so blind
When you were mine
When you were mine
We had it all
Then I broke all the rules
Left a trail of ruins in the promise land
Looking back now
The screen turns black and white
You gave me diamonds, I gave you my knife
When you were mine
I aimed where it hurt
Crossed every line
Left you behind
There's no going back
To a place like that
I was so blind
When you were mine
I was so blind
When you were mine
We all need someone we can trust
When you were mine
Soon we'll be turned to dust
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
