Lyrics Letter to a High School Sweetheart - Stephen Kellogg

I'm sure I'll be better tomorrow
But I didn't sleep well last night
I'm glad that you told me the truth, my love
There's nothing you need to re-write

This heart is a fire that consumes me
But you probably know that by now
So please don't mistake my intentions
Or the way that my words might come out

Because I loved you, before I knew you
Young hearts owe no debts, and I'm sure that there were safer bets

I see now some spaces were occupied
By people that I couldn't know
I won't presume to know who was who
You were never mine to own

Although I loved you, before I knew you, I hope that you knew
Young hearts owe no debts, though it's sometimes easy to forget ...

... that we were just kids when we met
