It's tearin' up my heart
when she looks at me that way
For when we met at the start
I wanted to hold her and seize the day

She was so innocent
and I tried to take it from her
How could I be so ignorant
and think I can be her lover.

Oh, how much I wanted her at the time
and never could find the rhyme
Now, the flame that burnt had burnt out
and my heart no longer needs to shout.
