I am like a wave
I know it hurts
But I slam against the sand
And then again I never learn
Only the moon could pull me in
But now that he has gone
It all feels wrong
But still I long for him

The boy I love gave me a bird
He said be patient please
I set it free
He left without another word
My heart it broke that night
I asked him where to go
Said I don't know
So I fell down and cried

Maybe some part of me
Hoped that it might always be
You and me each other
Easy, true young lovers
Maybe I just believed
In the words you'd say to me
Promises just muttered
We were true young lovers
Or were we

I am not the same as I once was
And though you have changed
My heart still is yours because
I tried so hard not to love
That I fell anyway but kept away
Became what I was scared of

Maybe I was afraid
I would lose you painfully
But you'd tell me everyday otherwise
So in time I believed
Maybe your promises
Drowned out all those other noises
Convinced me we'd last forever
We were crazy true young lovers

Maybe some part of me
Hoped that it might always be
You and me each other
Easy, true young lovers
Maybe I just believed
In the words you'd say to me
Promises just muttered
We were true young lovers

I didn't want to lose you
I didn't want to lose you
Didn't want to lose you
I didn't want to lose you
I didn't want to lose you
(Lost you anyway)
I didn't want to lose you
(I pushed you away)
I didn't want to lose you
(Lost you anyway)
Didn't want to lose you

Didn't want to lose you
Didn't want to lose
Didn't want to lose
But I lost you
I lost you
I didn't want to lose you
I didn't want to lose you
But I lost you anyway
I didn't want to lose you
But I lost you
I lost you
I didn't want to lose you
I lost you anyway
