Heat

I lost you somewhere in the sweltering heat, at zero degrees
I prayed for reprieve, but nobody heard those pleas
Caught something in your eyes that I was desperate for
But when love came calling, I had a brunette anchor ‘round my neck
But god, you were something…
When I was young, I loved and lost
‘Cause I didn’t know what courage was
She used to love to hear me sing
When I was young, I loved and lost
‘Cause I didn’t know what courage was
She used to love to hear me sing
Now she wears his ring
To this day, I see the marks from your nails in my arms
And I still try to lead with what you once called my charms
But I’ll never get back to us on my bed
And I’ll never get used to the taste of the words I never said
When I was young, I loved and lost
‘Cause I didn’t know what courage was
She used to love to hear me sing
When I was young, I loved and lost
‘Cause I didn’t know what courage was
She used to love to hear me sing
Now she wears his ring
But god, you were something…
