Dirty Leaves

(album: The Bronx - 2003)

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 alone in a city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all 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 what 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
Now your love is gone

All alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
All alone 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
Say

All alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
All alone and suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me

All alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
All alone and suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me
