The First Night of Autumn

The first night of autumn came too soon
I could see my breath disappear into the cold black sky
Your hair danced in the wind as I held you close
A tear ran down my cheek and hit the floor

You whispered, "I'll see you soon," but we both knew it wasn't true
I never thought I'd let it come to this
Shivering in the city streets
Still breathless and still broken the red lights dimmed out

The heavens opened on the dead drive home
With your lie running through my mind
Your voice drowning out with the rain on the window
So easily we fall

So close and glued to the fucking headlights
With each flash of light I tear myself apart
I tear myself apart, I tear myself apart
I tear myself apart, I tear myself apart

I watched the leaves fade from green to black
And die around my feet, around my feet
I couldn't kiss you one last time
Without letting you know you'll always be mine
