You said you've always loved me

But you didn't know how

You never realized that I could see it in your eyes

But I'm never gonna to see you again



At Seventeen I'd never really seen

A high school friend

Who could have been so green

I'm never see you again



You packed up your bags

And headed to the base

You said you had your duty

And you knew it was your place

You said we'd be apart for a little bit of time

That heart you took with you was mine



I loved you from the start

You were the beating of my heart

Now you've gone away

And I can't live another day

I'm never gonna see you again



I tried to step into your way

To make you think you had to stay

But knew if I had

It would have made you mad and

I knew you'd never want to see me again



You packed up your bags

And headed to the base

You said you had your duty

And you knew it was your place

You said we'd be apart for a little bit of time

That heart you took with you was mine



You left me at the door

And I fell upon the floor

Curled up in a ball

And knew we'd hit the wall

I'm never gonna see you again



I loved you from the start

You were the beating of my heart

Now you've gone away

For the rest of my days

I'm never gonna see you again
