Dirty Leaves

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 along in a city by the sea Dirty leaves fall 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 when 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 gone All all alone in the city by the sea Dirty leaves fall all around 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 All all alone in the city by the sea Dirty leaves fall all around And suddenly it seems Dirty leaves fall for you and me --- Dirty Leaves - The Bronx
