7	That they'd be your partner,							7
8	They'd be your partner, and...							8

9	And that you would never leave.							9
10	But you gave away the things you loved,						You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive	10
11	And one of them was me.						Well you said that we made such a pretty pair	11
12	I had some dreams,						And that you would never leave	12
