when you were mine

When you were my lover
You held me tight
Kissed me goodnight
And kept away the fright

When he was you
He pushed me away
Kept away until day
And never let my play

When she was you
She left me crying
Inside I was dying
And I was always trying

When no one was you
They left me alone
No one answered the phone
And I withered to the bone

When you were you
You held me tight
Kissed me goodnight
And let me fight.
