Now there's nothing left to do
But to lay my head down for sleeping
I'm weak with exhaustion and the lover's blues
And I still can't forget those weeks I had with you

But I guess it was only a summer love
Nothing too serious and nothing to last
I feel like a fool to be longing for that lyin' summer love

Once we both loved just a bit too hard
For deep down we both knew it was dyin'
And we both talked just a little about forever
But we both knew we were doing some lyin'

Now the snow falls, freezing my hurt for you
But some nights I feel it's still there
I've come back now to the life I've known before you
But I doesn't have the same old meaning
