We were young and I know that you loved her so

But so did I

So I went and paid my call my guilty smile and all

Could not be dissuaded

And I was only wasting time

You put your deepest trust in mine

I knew your faith did not belong

I turned right around and did you so wrong

Though I kept up the lie I would surely rather die

Than to see your reaction

With a stone in your throat you read the letters that she wrote

That were only meant for me

And I was only wasting time

You put your deepest trust in mine

I knew your faith did not belong

I turned right around and did you so wrong

Still the years crept on like the ever-present dawn

And we built it up again

With a beer and a smile my brother all the while

Returned to my jaded side

And I was only wasting time

You put your deepest trust in mine

I knew your faith did not belong

I turned right around and did you so wrong
