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
