With the whisper of dawn
I am chained to a memory
And the silence of the morning
Wraps my heart in a blanket of used to be's
I know you're over me

I walk to the window
Slip on my lonely shoes
I put on some coffee
So I can keep on wishin' I was over you
But I'm not over you

My mind is heavy I
T's a weight on my shoulders
And every day
It's getting colder and colder

Just like a rose that dies
It never blooms again
Never gonna get to know
I'll never know what might've been
And like a season that's been taken by the wind
You're gone
Gone like the leaves of September

Now I look in the mirror
And a broken man is all I see
I wash my face
But I just can't wash away these broken dreams
It's all I do it seems
I miss your voice
And I miss your sweet laugh
Can't stop thinking
That forever's what we could've had
But that's what we'll never have

I tell myself that it's over
It's over
And every time I do
It's just getting colder

Just like a rose that dies
It never blooms again
Never gonna get to know
I'll never know what might've been
And like a season that's been taken by the wind
You're gone
Gone like the leaves of September

Just like a rose that dies
It never blooms again
Never gonna get to know
I'll never know what might've been
And like a season that's been taken by the wind
You're gone, gone
Just like a rose that dies
It never blooms again
Never gonna get to know
I'll never know what might've been
And like a season that's been taken by the wind
You're gone
Gone like the leaves of September
