[Verse 1]
I turned you into a secret
To memorize alone
To justify my behavior
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I told you I would always try to be brave
I didn't mean it, didn't mean it, didn't mean it, didn't mean it, didn't mean it
You told me you were happy making mistakes
I didn't mean it, didn't mean it, didn't mean it, didn't mean it
'Til it was too late
'Til it was too late
[Chorus]
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
