Empty coffee cups on my windowsill
Polaroids I can't bring myself to kill
June was perfect, July was a dream
August came crashing down it seems
Your messages left on read
While memories dance in my head
(Looking back at what we had)
(Wondering where it went bad)
Summer nights turn to autumn leaves
Memories scatter in the breeze
I'm learning how to breathe again
Without you being my oxygen
Downtown lights blur through my tears
The radio plays our song, and disappears
Friends say time will heal this pain
But every street whispers your name
I'm driving past your old place
Searching for a familiar face
(Every moment that we shared)
(Fading like you never cared)
Summer nights turn to autumn leaves
Memories scatter in the breeze
I'm learning how to breathe again
Without you being my oxygen
Sometimes I write you letters I'll never send
Wondering if this heartache will ever end
The city feels smaller without you here
Each season brings a different kind of fear
But slowly I'm finding my way
Learning to live day by day
(Rising from the ashes now)
(Finally remembering how)
Summer nights turn to autumn leaves
Memories scatter in the breeze
I'm learning how to breathe again
Without you being my oxygen
