Colleen McKenna - Boy I Loved You

We both saw it
We were living in different states
Even before college
You were moving away
And I couldn't make you stay if I wanted
I gotta let you go

We both knew it
Well I believe in perfect timing
But we're just human
You said there's someone out there
Who can give me all you couldn't
You've gotta let me go

Said you hope my next boyfriend
Drives a truck not a car
Is a little bit taller than you are
And he can run with me
To Tennessee by choice

But boy I loved you
I take that back
Cuz actually I still do
But time threw loops
We just couldn't jump through
Yeah I tried to
But I was trying on my own
So I'll see you around
Next time I'm back at home
And boy I loved you

We'll get better
For a while we haven't really been together
Distance eases things
And pain isn't forever
We both already know

I hope your next girlfriend
Loves your hometown
I hope that for you she can settle down
While I live my dream
Promise me you'll live yours

But boy I loved you
I take that back
Cuz actually I still do
But time threw loops
We just couldn't jump through
Yeah I tried to
But I was trying on my own
So I'll see you around
Next time I'm back at home
And boy I loved you

I loved you like
My life depended on it
Yeah I thought that
Everything was over
If you say goodbye

You'll always take some
Space up in my heart
I won't be shotgun in your car
But I wish you the best
Wherever you are

Boy I loved you
I take that back
Cuz actually I still do
Now it's just something
We're gonna have to get through
Yeah I'm trying to
I'm doing alright on my own
And I'll see you around
Next time I'm back at home
Boy I loved you
