Dirty Leaves

I never wanted to admit to this

But my love wasn't true

I rescue the lonely

Because I'm lonely too

And the way you smile

The way you laugh

Reminds me of myself

Before I fell apart

Like a drug infected heart

All along in a city by the sea

Dirty leaves fall around

All alone and suddenly it seems

Dirty leaves fall for you and me

I never wanted your heart to break

But we still knew it would

Impossible to save

But did what I could

I replaced your tears

Your loneliness

With cigarettes and wine

But you needed more and we ran out of time...

Now your love is gone

All along in a city by the sea

Dirty leaves fall around

All alone and suddenly it seems

Dirty leaves fall for you and me

And once again I'm torn between

Saving you or saving me

That's why I begged you not to stay

Any longer than you should

Because I always knew you would

And now it builds more every day

Until you're just an object in my way

Choking on the words I never wanted you to say

All along in a city by the sea

Dirty leaves fall around

All alone and suddenly it seems

Dirty leaves fall for you and me
