We Were Young Letra

That night I'll never forget the way you moved
The way you left the room, so sad
Like nothing ever turned out like you thought it would

Oh, we were young
And I'm still in love, I'm still a fool for you
Oh, I caught your eye
Tell me you didn't try to compare me
To the girl in your mind

You walk toward me
My legs are frozen to the ground
I couldn't make a sound if I wanted to
But you, fearless as ever
Always one to please the crowd
You flash a smile at me, so sad
Like nothing ever turned out like you thought it should

Oh, we were young
And I'm still in love, I'm still a fool for you
Oh, I caught your eye
Tell me you didn't try to compare me
To the girl in your mind

What's the difference?
You never called, you never wrote
I left it alone, but something's different
Something's exactly the same - the way your lips move
When you say my name, so sad
Like nothing was as perfect as you wanted it to be

We were free
And I'm still waiting to see
If you'll come back around tonight
I caught your eye
Tell me you didn't try to compare me
To the girl in your mind

The girl you'll never find
The one you'll never find
Never as perfect as you wanted it to be
