Consumed

I know you know, I loved you
Too' young, too fun, to realise and we were
Laying in the long grass in the summer
Thinking 'bout you from time to time
I'm sorry I just lied
I think about you all the time

I am consumed by an unreal grief
Consumed by a love that could have been
Consumed by a love unborn; but conceived
I am consumed, there's nothing left of me

More beautiful, then I recall
I thought, we ought, to start again, but I
Heard, you, payed your way, with your body
Overheard what, your friend did say
I'm sorry I just tried
I thought about this all the time

I was consumed by an unreal grief
Consumed by a love that could have been
Consumed by a love unborn; but conceived
I was consumed, there's nothing left of me

We grew up, we grew apart, and we grew distant
What seemed so big back then is so small in the distance
Of time, between now and when it was you and I

I'm sorry I just tried
I'll think about you one last time

I won't be consumed by an unreal grief
Consumed by a love that could have been
Consumed by a love unborn; but conceived
You are consumed, there's nothing left for me

But after all we're doing fine
You found love, as did I
