His name was August
And he came in like a flood
He rolled around and 'round and drowned 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 burned
That's not what I was told when
I learned how to love you
'Cause I was never taught that
Perfect love could end
Ohhh, oh, ohh, ohhh
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
