Lay down and I try to close my eyes
Pictures dancing, memories gone by
Wonder if it's this hard for you at night
Every now and then I find something you left
My heart stops until I catch my breath
And I can't forget you yet

'Cause you're a summer sun in a cold winter breeze
Gives you just enough to knock you off your feet
And I fell like you can only fall the first time
You would tear me down just to build me back up
Leave me praying that you loved me just as much
And the truth wasn't what I deserved
So much, for the man I thought you were

I bet she's not too different from me
A trusting heart just yearning to believe
Every idealistic dream
A perfect man, a perfect fantasy
She can wish, but you will never be
No you'll never be, what she needs

'Cause you're a summer sun in a cold winter breeze
Gives you just enough to knock you off your feet
And I fell like you can only fall the first time
You would tear me down just to build me back up
Leave me praying that you loved me just as much
And the truth wasn't what I deserved
So much, for the man I thought you were

I wish I could tell her everything she put me through
But I can't hate her, 'cause I know she'll find out soon

You're a summer sun in a cold winter breeze
Gives you just enough to knock you off your feet
And I fell like you can only fall the first time
You would tear me down just to build me back up
Leave me praying that you loved me just as much
And the truth wasn't what I deserved
So much, for the man I thought you were
The man I thought you were
