We had it all We were young lovers We were full of trust and faith We were dead set on making it last forever Forever and a day
I recall it was fall last year When it started to die Standing still As the temperature kills The summer's thrills That were keeping it alive
The days got colder So I held you closer In an effort to save us from time Almost like a wind came And ruined the spark And left us in the dark
But, hey I could've told you that I loved you And stayed around to kindle the fire But I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith And I am the liar I'm no longer what you require
I still feel you at night Turning in the sheets When I turn out the light That's how it goes The ghost of your first love Won't ever leave you Till the day that you die
I won't ever live down Leaving her behind Even if the choice was the right one It was a good thing Staring me right in the face But I turned and ran away
Hey I could've told you that I loved you And stayed around to kindle the fire But I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith And I am the liar I'm no longer what you require
Back then The days were so much faster We were young, stubborn And in love with disaster
You know you can't go back Even if you try You better just forget her Won't you close the door on me 'Cause it'll never be the same It will never be the way it was before
But, hey I would've told you that I loved you And stayed around to kindle the fire But I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith And I am the liar
Oh, hey I would've told you that I loved you And stayed around to kindle the fire But I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith And I am the liar I'm no longer what you require
