saw you in the garden that one summer, in your rumpled dresses trampling on roses
brought you to that frozen lake where i watched your broken soul ache where you told me your secret griefs
and sometimes i can’t help but wish things hadn’t changed between us was it pride, was it the way i wasn’t by your side
was it my broken promises and miserable lies that made you think otherwise?
but i promise i’ll be a better man, be a bit less of a fool, someone wise
this time i’d like to make you mine
saw you in the desert that next summer, in your military blues like a plan gone askew
things would never be the same and i would never call your name
all this was an old fantasy it wasn’t meant to be
sometimes i can’t help but wish things hadn’t changed between us was it pride, was it the way i wasn’t by your side
was it my broken promises and miserable lies that made you think otherwise?
but i promise i’ll be a better man, be a bit less of a fool, someone wise
this time i’d like to make you mine
never would’ve thought we’d end up this way from old-time lovers to nothing but hearsay
it’s hard, when I just wanna hear your voice at two in the morning, kiss you in the pouring rain take away all your pain
sometimes i can’t help but wish things hadn’t changed between us was it pride, was it the way i wasn’t by your side
was it my broken promises and miserable lies that made you think otherwise?
but i promise i’ll be a better man, be a bit less of a fool, someone wise
this time i promise I’ll make you mine
