Leaves of September

With the whisper of dawn

I am chained to a memory

And the silence of the morning

Wraps my heart in a blanket of used to be's

I know you're over me

I walk to the window

Slip on my lonely shoes

I put on some coffee

So I can keep on wishin' I was over you

But I'm not over you

My mind is heavy I

T's a weight on my shoulders

And every day

It's getting colder and colder

Just like a rose that dies

It never blooms again

Never gonna get to know

I'll never know what might've been

And like a season that's been taken by the wind

You're gone

Gone like the leaves of September

Now I look in the mirror

And a broken man is all I see

I wash my face

But I just can't wash away these broken dreams

It's all I do it seems

I miss your voice

And I miss your sweet laugh

Can't stop thinking

That forever's what we could've had

But that's what we'll never have

I tell myself that it's over

It's over

And every time I do

It's just getting colder

Just like a rose that dies

It never blooms again

Never gonna get to know

I'll never know what might've been

And like a season that's been taken by the wind

You're gone

Gone like the leaves of September

Just like a rose that dies

It never blooms again

Never gonna get to know

I'll never know what might've been

And like a season that's been taken by the wind

You're gone, gone

Just like a rose that dies

It never blooms again

Never gonna get to know

I'll never know what might've been

And like a season that's been taken by the wind

You're gone

Gone like the leaves of September
