"Can you make some time this afternoon to talk?"
"I'm in town and I'll meet you in the park"
"I'm only here until the morning
And I'd love to see your face and hear your voice"
So I gathered up the nerve and took the dog
Put on my boots, lit a smoke, and took a walk
And there you were sitting on the corner of the ice rink
Wearing that sweater that I loved
Did I not tell you enough that I loved ya?
And you look so good when you cry
Did I not tell you enough?
That I'm sorry for all this wasted time
We gotta learn to love
Learn to leave
And learn to lose
She said 'there's a couple things I need to know"
"Why won't you look me in the eyes? You're being cold"
I said "I haven't felt myself since early 2012
And I hate the person I've become"
We walked around my neighbourhood for hours
Down Primrose Way and past the water towers
You did all the talking, I barely said a word
Then it all came pouring out
Maybe we just need some space and time
You go your way I'll go mine
You should be around your friends
And go through all the pictures
To delete them from your mind
Did I not tell you enough that I loved you?
And you look so good when you cry
Did I not tell you enough?
That I'm sorry for all this wasted time
We gotta learn to love
Learn to leave
Learn to lose
Would it be easier if we just pretend
We're two strangers who never met
Those two kids who fell in love at nineteen
Were other people and not you and me
And we never took off each others clothes
After you kissed me in the snowbank and you froze
And all those Gaslight Anthem songs
We sang in the shower before you left
We'll agree to unlearn them and never listen to them again
Well maybe this is for the best
Did I not tell you enough that I loved you?
And you look so good when you cry
Did I not tell you enough?
That I'm sorry for all this wasted time
We've learned to love
Now we'll learn to leave
And learn to lose
