His name was August, and he came in like a flood He whirled around and round, and round 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 bond 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 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
