I've been gone forever
And there's nothing left here but the snow
I traded weather for
A fear of getting old

And I don't remember
Those years so well as I once hoped
Amnesia shelters
The pain of letting go

And youth will be wasted on the young

Middle of July we were living fast
Said I wouldn't mind if it doesn't last
I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really told you so

Lying in the glow of a northern sky
I could feel your heart, though it wasn't mine
I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really let you know

Back when our eyes were
Opacified with youthful dreams
There's something sinister
About the world I've seen

And I don't recall what
What was said, just what was not
Or how it felt but
I know it hurt a lot

And youth will be wasted on the young

Loving was a shore we were dipping feet
I would make a face when you acted sweet
I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really told you so

I was dating wide, I was tempting fate
Said I didn't mind if you did the same
I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really let you know

Days were getting short, we were losing time
Said I didn’t care cause it wasn’t mine
I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really told you so

And when you disappeared up around the bend
Wasn’t sure before, but I knew it then
I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really told you so

I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really let you know

I loved you though
I loved you though
I never really let you know
