Walking down the street, memories in the heat
Feeling like the world was ours to keep
But little did we know, it was just a show
A cruel summer, leaving us low

(Oh-oh-oh) the days were long, the nights so warm
(Oh-oh-oh) but behind the Sun, a hidden storm
(Oh-oh-oh) we danced with laughter, we played with fire
(Oh-oh-oh) but in the end, it was all a liar

Cruel summer of 2006, our hearts were torn and so it seems
We believed in love, but it was just a dream
Cruel summer of 2006, the memories they still sting
We were young and foolish, caught in love's wicked wings (oh-oh-oh)
