"You Were Mine" by The Dixie Chicks

I can’t find a reason to let go
Even though you found a new love
And she’s what your dreams are made of
I can find a reason to hang on
What when wrong can’t be forgiven
Without you it ain’t worth livin’ alone

Sometimes I wake up cryin’ at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take your heart away
When for so long you were mine

Took out all the pictures of our wedding day
It was a time of love and laughter
Of happy ever after
But even those old pictures have begun to fade
Please tell me she’s not real
And that you’re really coming home to stay

Sometimes I wake up cryin’ at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take your heart away
When for so long you were mine

I can think of two good reason to show you love’s not blind
He’s two and she’s four
And you know they adore you
So how can I tell them you changed your mind

Sometimes I wake up cryin’ at night
And sometimes I scream out your name
What right does she have to take your heart away
When for so long you were mine
I remember when you were mine
