the saddest story ever told

The Magnetic Fields

we used to go out on those summer nights
and dance in the neon rain
we used to hold hands at the movie show
but we'll never hold hands again

those days are gone
you and I were young those summer nights
you'll see the world
diving for a girl you'll never find
and then we'll quietly grow old...
the saddest story ever told

once upon a time we fell in love
or at least that's what you said
you say I can find someone else
but I just wish I was dead
