We were both children when

So full of innocence

We used to play our games in flowery fields

You're the one who could see

The good inside of me

And I knew then that I had something real

I used to love you from afar

As we all decided who we are

But you were never mine to have

Still I loved you to the last

Because you were my, you are my always

For years my feelings grew

But I was losing you

The only happiness I'd ever known

Another came along

And slowly won your heart

I cared enough for you to let you go

I used to love you from afar

As we all decided who we are

You were never mine to have

Still I loved you to the last

Because you were my, you are my always

A thousand times the words just died right on my lips

Regret came over me with its swift and stinging kiss

I used to love you from afar

As we all decided who we are

You were never mine to have

Still I loved you to the last

Because you were my, you are my always
