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 when 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 all alone in the city by the sea
|
dirty leaves fall all around
|
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 all alone in the city by the sea
|
dirty leaves fall all around
|
and suddenly it seems
|
dirty leaves fall for you and me
|
