Lyrics:
When you were mine
I gave you all of my money
Time after time
You done me wrong
Just like a dream
Let all my friends come over and meet
And you were so strange
You didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh, when you were mine
I used to let you wear all my clothes
You were so fine
Maybe that's the reason
That it hurt me so
I know (I know)
That you're going with another guy
I don't care (Don't care)
'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did
When you were mine
When you were mine
You were kinda-sorta my best friend
I was so blind
I let you fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleeping in between the two of us
I know (I know)
That you're going with another guy
I don't care (Don't care)
'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did
When you were mine
When you were mine
You were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with you
I know (I know)
That you're going with another guy
I don't care (Don't care)
'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did
When you were mine
I love you more
I love you more
Oh...
I love you more than I did
when you were mine
Oh...
I love you more
I love you more
I love you more
Oh....
I love you more
I love you more

I fucking love bright eyes

[@TechnicJunglist]

I'm speechless. I didn't know this cover existed. Bravo.

[@lesliebivens3142]

Love Bright Eyes FOREVER!!!❤

[@ljetronic]

The pedal steel is such an expressive instrument. The unsettled harmonies of your vocals and the uniquely powerful expressiveness of the steel reveal the deeply emotional nature of the lyrics. This is a beautiful capture of overpowering sadness and loss. Even me, proudly rejecting emotion, find this supremely moving and relatable. This is proper meaningful art.

This was written by our generation's genius- Prince! Ani difranco has the best cover of many beautiful ones 😊 had to say that in case any younguns didn't know about the Purple Man,💜
