Been a long dark week fighting with my thoughts since our last talk
I've made it out of the house for the first time
That golden glow of summer clinging on I take my first walk
Scenes from the day we met won't leave my troubled mind
I said I loved your honesty
You said it doesn't work with women
I said that you just haven't met the right one yet
If I had known our eyes would meet
The way that they did in that moment
Could'a hidden my smile better
Think we both knew then
But I know I've got to let the seasons change
Cause it would be easier
To hold on to you
It would be easier
To pretend this is not what I am going through
I could just stay here stuck in time with you forever on my mind
The world will keep on spinning round
As I try to cling on for dear life
But that leaf
Fell at my feet
Brought me back into my body
Made me see
That I can't stay the same
While the seasons change
That golden glow turned into golden leaves that started to fall down
My empty heart learned how to beat again with you
It's October now and the rain clouds are all around
The only colours I can feel are grey or blue
I thought that crying yourself to sleep was just a phrase to be dramatic
But 61 days on it's a habit I can't live without
Those vibrant bright green summer leaves seem so far away now
Heightened August memories just something in my past
They were so golden, but now they've got holes in
Turning brown as they fall to the ground
And I know I've got to let them fade away
It would be easier
To hold on to you
It would be easier
To pretend this is not what I am going through
I could just stay here stuck in time with you forever on my mind
The world will keep on spinning round
As I try to cling on for dear life
But that leaf
Fell at my feet
Brought me back into my body
Made me see
That I can't stay the same
While the seasons change
Now I watch the water glisten
Float the leaves away to winter
You didn't mean to but you took away all my sparkle
As we lay there pressed together
Could've stayed there, oh forever
But I know I had to tell you to leave
It's what you needed
Our last kiss felt like a distant memory
By the time I walked through the door
Your car was gone we were no more
Everything was just like before
Like we never happened at all
Cause it would be easier
To hold on to you
It would be easier
To pretend this is not what I am going through, oh
I could just stay here stuck in time with you forever on my mind
The world will keep on spinning round
As I try to cling on for dear life
But that leaf
Fell at my feet
Brought me back into my body
Made me see
That I can't stay the same
While the seasons change
Soon it will be cold outside
Then winter will be over
Daffodils
And green shoots will
Be starting to come through
You won't be by my side
Maybe someone else will
I hope that one day I can smile
When I remember you
