You Were Small Lyrics

We would swim

On rocks and scramble through the trees

And at our size

The waist deep water was the sea

You turned to me

And said that you had done

All that you can

I don't love you now

But I forgave you then

You learned to run

And I learned violence just because

And we left behind

In leaves and dirt what made us kind

Gently

The softness fades and we'll

Do the same

I don't love you now

But I forgave you then
