Cut to two months later in the woods
We talked and laughed like old friends wish they could
My ears turned red to see you even then
hut I held back - I thought it was a sin

From the start,
you reminded me that I still had a heart
but it wasn't really mine anymore

Your letters helped me through that bitter year
When you and he broke up, I shed no tears
but I had ghosts to deal with of my own
and I thought you probably needed time alone

But when you said that you'd give me a chance
I felt like I could buy you half of France
We've wandered through the shadows and the fog
We've played with puppies, and we've swum through bogs

and from the start,
you've reminded me that I still have a heart
but it's not really mine anymore
