We were sweethearts in summer, lovers by fall
But wintertime came and put a chill to it all
Now we cannot forgive what we will not forget
We've both said things that we should regret

Now my love for you has turned to hate
It's a total reversal of emotional states
A sad conclusion I have to relate
My love for you has turned to hate

The bright summer sun left us blinded and sure
That we'd both found a love that was bound to endure
But then the clouds rolled in and as my eyes adjusted
I was staring at someone who just couldn't be trusted

Chorus

I felt the hot summer sun through my cotton shirt
Then I had wine that reminded me of cherries and dirt
But then I caught the smell of fresh fallen leaves
And heard a lonely bird singing in a skeleton tree

Now there's snow on the ground and a chill in my heart
I'm waiting for the thaw and a brand-new start
I know spring follows winter, then it's summer again
But I don't think that we'll ever be friends

Chorus

I'll say it one more time in case you came in late
My love for you has turned to hate
