The river ran warm under skies painted gold
Fireflies sparked like tiny promises we never kept
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
Your hand in mine felt like it could hold the world
But the nights kept stretching thinner until they snapped
I still hear your laughter rolling through the fields
And it hits harder than the thunder in July
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
The kind that burns like the sun on bare skin
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
And we both knew it would never come back again
The ocean sang low and pulled me farther from shore
The wind tangled my hair the way your fingers used to do
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
Every sunset felt like it was chasing me down
Until I let it catch me and turn me into someone new
I see you standing in the glow of the fairground lights
I taste the cotton candy and the salt in the air
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
The ferris wheel turned slow like it knew the end was near
And we rode it high just to fall without a net
The night was a tapestry of stars and silence
But your eyes were already somewhere I could not go
The heat of the day faded into something colder
And I learned that goodbye could wear the scent of honeysuckle
Every memory runs faster when I try to catch it
Until all I hold is the echo of your name
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
The kind that burns like the sun on bare skin
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
And we both knew it would never come back again
We lost our love to a summer heartbreak
And the waves still carry it out where I cannot swim
