A Year Past July

I only wanted to be with you
And have you by my side
I watch you putting on the years
And I've no chance to see your tears

But now I've let you go away
And I can't have you back
It's not that I didn't want you
I only turned my back

And I won't let you go away
And I hope you don't feel no shame
The shame's not yours, it's down to us
I never meant to hurt you

And she will never know my face
There is no more disgrace
I only wanted the best for you
And now I don't know what I can do
