All that I feel for or trust in or love
All that is gone

It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah, it used to be so easy

But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold

The last day of summer
Never felt so old

The last day of summer
Never felt so cold
(So cold, so cold, so cold)
Never felt so old
(So old, so old)
