People go away
you'll be sad for a day
you knew it would happen it happens
before you know

People come and go all the time
I've seen it
but it's harder when they mean it
every leaf that falls from my branches
shows me how it's a delicate break to fall

I know it's been too long
a dimming light
it's been for months now
colors fade into the background
of my life
it's been for months now

I hadn't noticed it was fall again so soon
it was just green a few weeks ago
now I'm up to my lashes
in strangers passing
I used to know

I know it's been too long
a dimming light
it's been for months now
colors fade into the background
of my life
it's been for months now

I know it's been too long
a dimming light
it's been for months now
colors fade into the background
of my life
it's been for months now
