When You Were Mine - Anna Ternheim

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
