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
