Once when I was young
I met a special lad
He had sweet kisses on his tongue
The best I ever had

We had a beautiful summer romance
Full of wishes, love, and laughter
He had my heart from the very first glance
And every day there after

But time went on and changed things
As it always does
The boy got up and left one day
His reason? Just because

I didn't understand it
My plans were all a bust
The boy who gave me everything
Had turned my heart to dust

What's there left to do then
With a heart that's turned to grey
The thing I learned from this summer fling
Is that no one else can ever stay

So I swept up all the pieces
And I locked them in a box
Never again will my heart be heard
Buried under a mountain of rocks
