The days passed as we got to know each other
Quickly spending our few spare hours
Together and with our friends
Enjoying our few summer months
And then I had to return to school
And something changed in you
You began to pull away
I could feel you building the walls
You wouldn't see me for days
Then you said, "we need to talk"
I know what those words mean
You said I needed affection -
I had told you that before -
And you stated that if I wanted
I could get that at school
Well sure. But I wouldn't dare
As long as you still wanted me
You said, "We'll see at winter break"
Oh, how I wanted to believe you
But you said you might forget me
You couldn't promise that you wouldn't
I knew then that you were a coward
Afraid of something good
Afraid of being honest with me
Unable to trust me
You couldn't enjoy being treated well
After so long of torment by her,
A girl you never even dated
Oh well - your regret will come
