I didn’t want to leave you behind
You have to know
I meant it when I said
Only an act of God
Thundering from the mountaintops
Reaching down low to grab me
Could part me from your side
I would have stayed with you
Until the stars in the sky went out
And crashed into us
But naivety breed false promises
And they rolled off my candy-coated tongue
Straight into your touch-starved heart
You need to understand
I was too young to know what I wanted
And what I needed
Were not always going to be the same thing
I’m sorry that I realized this too late
