I turned you into a secret

To memorise alone

To justify my behaviour

Define who I've become



Every time I tell my story

I begin with you

And I recall the night when I, when I,

When I broke in two



We were young, we were proud, we were promising

We were hiding our innocence, ooh

We had time, we had love, we had everything

We had everything, ooh

We were young, we were proud, we were promising

We were caught in the heat of it, ooh

We had time, we had love, we had everything

We had everything, ooh



I turned you into a reason

To keep myself tied up

So when I think that I'm crazy

It was you that screwed me up



But I don't wanna let you go, oh

No, I don't wanna let you go



We were young, we were proud, we were promising

We were hiding our innocence, ooh

We had time, we had love, we had everything

We had everything, ooh

We were young, we were proud, we were promising

We were caught in the heat of it, ooh

We had time, we had love, we had everything

We had everything, ooh



I told you I would always try to be brave

(I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that)

You told me you were happy making mistakes

(I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that)

'Til it was too late

'Til it was too late



We were young, we were proud, we were promising

We were hiding our innocence, ooh

We had time, we had love, we had everything

We had everything, ooh

We were young, we were proud, we were promising

We were caught in the heat of it, ooh

We had time, we had love, we had everything

We had everything, ooh
