His name was August
And he came in like a flood
He whirled around and roud and
Drowned me up in every kind of love
He took me over
He took me to the world
He took me in and out
And up until I was a different girl
That's not what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end
He stands right beside me
But he's farther than the sun
But his light still keeps me warm
It still keeps me burned
That's not what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end
And now that's it's over
All I can seem to think
Is how to love someone
With every part of me
Cause that's what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end
That's not what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end
