The Last Fall - The New Year

Only now do I see the mistake

In all the indifference that I faked

What I had always meant to do

Was never let you see how I saw you

Now all the leaves are falling

And you’re no longer calling

And all the color’s fading

Like this is the last fall

As our hair and our patience grow thinner

And we settle in for the long winter

These olds regrets will magnify

Only now do I see the mistake

In all the wreckage in the rake

I never wanted to be seen

In the dying dream of staying green

Now all the leaves have fallen

And you’ll soon be forgotten

And the backyard is rotten

Like every other fall
