The leaves are turning a crimson hue
But my heart stands still longing for you
A shadow fading unseen unknown
I know I'm not the one you've chosen
Your light shines bright a beacon clear
While I'm left here lost in fear
These glasses shield my aching heart
Hiding the pain that tears us apart
Am I too plain or just too lost?
Is loving you a heavy cost?
I watch you move a graceful sight
A distant star out of my sight
I love you like the autumn skies
So vast and deep a sweet surprise
But all I see are your goodbyes
As leaves descend my spirit dies
Am I too much or too little?
Perhaps you don't see me at all
Tomorrow too I'll watch you fade
A solitary soul in endless shade
I've learned my place a humble one
A brittle branch beneath the sun
I yearn to be the warmth you crave
But I'm just cold a lonely wave
I wait and hope though I know well
Your heart belongs where I can't dwell
I love you like the autumn skies
So vast and deep a sweet surprise
But all I see are your goodbyes
As leaves descend my spirit dies
Am I too much or too little?
Perhaps you don't see me at all
Tomorrow too I'll watch you fade
A solitary soul in endless shade
The leaves keep falling just like me
Caught in the wind wild and free
I let you be though it hurts my soul
As autumn's beauty takes its toll
