Boy I Loved You Lyrics

We both saw it

We were living in different states

Even before college

You were moving away

I couldn't make you stay if I wanted

I've gotta let you go

We both knew it

Well I believe in perfect timing

But we're just human

You said there's someone out there

Who can give me all you couldn't

You've gotta let me go

You said you hope my next boyfriend

Drives a truck not a car

Is a little bit taller than you are

And he can run with me

To Tennessee by choice

But boy I loved you

I take that back

Cuz actually I still do

But time threw loops

That we just couldn't jump through

Yeah I tried to

But I was trying on my own

So I'll see you 'round

Next time I'm back at home

And boy I loved you

We'll get better

For a while now

We haven't really been together

The distance eases things

And pain isn't forever

We both already know

Yeah, I hope your next girlfriend

Loves your hometown

I hope that for you she can settle down

While I live my dream

Promise me you'll live yours

And boy I loved you

I take that back

Cuz actually I still do

But time threw loops

That we just couldn't jump through

Yeah I tried to

But I was trying on my own

So I'll see you 'round

Next time I'm back at home

Boy I loved you

I loved you like my life depended on it

Yeah I thought that

Everything was over

If you said goodbye

You'll always take some space up in my heart

I won't be shotgun in your car

But I wish you the best

Wherever you are

Boy I loved you

I take that back

Cuz actually I still do

Now it's just something

We're gonna have to get through

Yeah I'm trying to

I'm doing alright on my own

So I'll see you around

Next time I'm back at home

Boy I loved you
