A Little Death

Like the leaves that fall off a tree

I know that love has left me

And I can give in to being estranged

As the branches wilt and the colors change

And the fish that wash up on shore

Who won't be swim in the sea anymore

Are like those thousands of wasted days

Upon the million grains of sand

And like the leaves that pile to decay

These little deaths happen every day

Maybe our love was just a cliché

And not unique because it happened to me

Let my life blow away in the wind

Carry my old dreams far from me

I'll just sit alone and pass the time

I'm better off, it was too much

A little death from every touch

I had to run, I had to leave

I'm dead inside but I can breathe

I see now that it was me

I've lost my love and my family

But let the trees and the sea feel contrite

Convince myself that I'm alright

Better to smile and take the blame

Than to hold on to the truth and pain

I don't want love if it will hurt me again

(Chorus x2)

I'm better off, it was too much

A little death from every touch

I had to run, I had to leave

I'm dead inside but I can breathe

(x3)

Leaves they fall then come back

Their colors fade, turn to black

(?) just to love

Just give up and let the memory fade
