Kissed a lotta girls, even kissed a boy
Must have been that sweet summer wine
I wanted to be free, learning to breathe
The loneliness came time after time

How the hell did we keep dreaming
When I did you so wrong?
All the memories still creeping
In your head

I don't know why, I don't know why
You put your heart back on the line
I don't know how, I don't know how
Ooh, this summer really hurt us, goddamn
(Goddamn)

Teardrops in your eyes when I told you lies
Selfish when I broke us apart
Saw everything in blue and said some things 'bout you
But none of it was true, my love

How the hell did we keep dreaming
When I did you so wrong?
All the memories still creeping
In your head

I don't know why, I don't know why
You put your heart back on the line
I don't know how, I don't know how
Ooh, this summer really hurt us, goddamn
I don't know why, I don't know why
You put your heart out every time
I don't know how, I don't know how
Ooh, this summer really hurt us so bad
So bad, 'cause

Lost it in June, fucked up in July
Missed you in August, oh
Lost it in June, fucked up in July
And missed you in August, oh

This summer really hurt us
I wanted to be perfect, goddamn
This summer really hurt us
I wanted to be perfect so bad

I don't know why, I don't know why
You put your heart back on the line
I don't know how, I don't know how
Ooh, this summer really hurt us, goddamn
I don't know why, I don't know why
You put your heart out every time
I don't know how, I don't know how
Ooh, this summer really hurt us, goddamn
