he takes her hand and he says “you’re the one”
she doesn’t know what to say
cat’s got her tongue
he whispers “i love you”
she whispers “i love you, too”
but in 3 more weeks will it last?
‘cause he’s moving and it’s come too fast
it’s the last day of summer
college football
he’s leaving today and she doesn’t know where to go
he’s all packed up in his car
ready for a drive that’s too far
long distance relationship
but he says she’s totally worth it
but she’s crying, and hugging, and not letting go
and she’s hurting, and wanting, not wanting him to go
she’s lying, she said she’d be perfectly fine
but this lying and hurting is killing her inside
i don’t want you to go
it’s one year later
he’s back in town and she gives him a call
date night at the movies
her first thought of him when she sees;
‘what happened to him? he looks so different
what happened to him? i don’t understand…’
cuz he’s thinner, and run down, looks nothing like before
and he’s dirty, and shaking, and angry at the world
he’s fighting about everything, she just wants to know
what happened to her boy less than a year ago
there’s tears in her eyes, but he’s walking away
and she’s left alone crying ‘cause he’s far from okay
while he was angry and bitter, she was dying inside
knowing heroin’s taken the love of her life
i didn’t want you to go
