Because You Now Belong To Him

I once had you to call my own
But now I'm sitting all alone
You used to sit right by my side
But now you really hurt my pride

My hopes have died
That's why I'm grim
Because you now belong to him

You loved him while I loved you
I didn't know just what to do
I thought I'd found someone to love
But he's who you were thinking of

My hopes have died
That's why I'm grim
Because you now belong to him

It must have been a love never meant to be
At least I have myself convinced
But why did it have to happen to me?
With not even a trace of a hint?

I know that I never needed your love
Even if I never see you again, it would be too soon
Commentary
Written March 16, 1974. My first breakup song. Technically, I had a breakup 2 1/2 years earlier, so I was pretty much over her by then.
