It must have been the way you talked
Or gazed afar
The minute you met me, time stopped
I let you carry my bags, and then you carried it all for life
Italy in my blue shirt,
Green grass, white skies
and new firsts
I fell first
I danced for you, then danced with you
I could go on all night
It felt so right
Talking, then tongue-tied
Starry night, staring at dark grey skies
The stakes were high but you were mine
I wish I could hold you and say it would all be fine
But I knew quite well, that it was time
Grab me, shake me, hurt me, curse me
if I messed you up
Days and nights, and time went by
But no amount of time would be enough
I need to leave, need you to cover for me
I know cuts hurt, the knives in my heart hurt worse
You're young, so young and full of love
It kills me that I need to give it up
It's easy for you but complicated for me
You ask me to stay, eyes drowning in pain
But you'll soon see
And we might meet someday again
And we'll talk about the good old days
Now, I live a new life
New place, new shoes, a new wife
And somewhere, I know you're living yours
Free and happily, not painfully confined
I always think about you, I always will
I won't ever forget that summer,
When you called me your name
and I called you by mine
