The Last Fall

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
