Too young in growth
Too old in years
I don't dare dream
Naught left but fears

Naught left but fears
And dreams that die
Fears and regrets
And tears to cry

Yes, tears to cry
When I can
For now it is
Alone I stand

Alone I stand
For we must part
And leave me here
With half a heart

For half my heart
You tore right out
I loved, I did
Without a doubt

Without a doubt
I know too well
How caught I'm in
This lonely hell

A lonely hell
Pain, loss, and grief
The pieces three
Of my belief

In my belief
Naïve was I
You said our love
Would never die

And, never die?
Perhaps that's right
But you have gone
Day turns to night

Day turns to night
And fire to dust
Must you leave?
It seems you must

I think you must
For even if
You love me still
There's now a rift

There's now a rift
And we're apart
We may love still
And in my heart

In my heart
I think I do
Love you still
But know it's true

I know it's true
That what we had
Is dead and gone
And thus I'm sad

I'm very sad
It had to go
We were too young
And didn't know

We didn't know
We forged ahead
We paid the price--
"Us" is dead

"Us" is gone
But we are left
To somehow try
To live bereft

Bereft of what
We had together
And I at least
Of hope for better

For hope for better
Or even as good
I find I haven't
And wish I could

I wish I could
Believe I'll meet
Another love
Half as sweet

Half as sweet
As ours was when
It still did bloom
And bless us then

It blessed us then
And linked our hearts
But `now' and `then'
Are far apart

And far apart
Our worlds have grown
You live your life
I live my own

I live my life
At least I try
And hope I'll learn
Before I die

Before I die
Mayhap I'll find
A way to bring
Me peace of mind

For peace of mind
And peace of heart
Are what I want
My way to chart

My way to chart
Between the shoals
Life throws my way
And reach my goals

To reach my goals
I ever yearn
But ere that there's
So much to learn

I've much to learn
For I am both
Too old in years
And young in growth
