When We Were Young

i remember a time we thought love was blind
then we woke from the dream  and we realized
when love fades away it hurts a little more each day

when the fighting starts what becomes of the broken hearts
of the whispers thought and the good fights that we fought
the tears on your face it's a memory i can't erase
when we were young

then you left me cold and alone that day
closed the door on our life without a word to say
did you have a reason why you never said goodbye
when we were young

there used be one pillow on our bed
there's is nothing now except the note you left
i've looked deep inside saw the truth you cannot hide
when we were young

you can call it what you will it's hard to swallow that pill
i'm suffering deep  inside your words are bruising my pride
when i saw the truth in your eyes  the sadness in your cries
when we were young

whatever comes your way i know you'll see it through
hope springs eternal and runs deep in you
your love is so bright i gotta turn down the lights
when we were young

when i'm looking back you know it won't take long
a couple of minutes to find out just where it all went wrong
the dream has fled so far she doesn't know who we are
when we were young

you know i love you now like i loved you then
but deep down inside i know we'll never be friends
it's a road i walk alone it will carry me home
when we were young

it's a road i walk alone it will carry me home
when i was young
