[Verse 1]
It's been a year and a day
Since I fired the engine, spead away
Pasat the weeping willow where we carved our names
Past the open field where summer nights would fade
Into morning

[Chorus]
And I was so naive
How could I ever let you go?
So carelessly
Running from the only truth I've ever known
Well I once was green, now I'm blue
Because a love like yours is overdue
Ahh

[Verse 2]
Through the fall and the spring
I yearned to feel something, sleepless nights
And stranger's arms getting so close
But my heart was so far
Away

[Chorus]
And I was so naive
How could I ever let you go?
So carelessly
Running from the only truth I've ever known
Well I once was green, now I'm blue
Because a love like yours is overdue
Ahh

[Bridge]
Because a love like yours
Plays over and over in my head
Like a melody I can't forget
Over and over and over and over again
Hmm

[Chorus]
And I was so naive
How could I ever let you go?
So carelessly
Running from the only truth I've ever known
Well I once was green, now I'm blue
Because a love like yours is overdue
Ahh, woah-woah-ahh
