There's something in this fall air
Rotten and putrid
Defiled and rancid
Yet fair
That I should breathe this air

And could the musk have formed
From all the sins I take into my lungs

Maybe I'm not worth the time to remember

You called me names and said that I was wrong
And I was
But you were beautiful
And held my heart

And the stupid things I'd say
And the way I thought life was
But we're older now and can't move on
How could I move on???

You were perfect in every way
And I was flawed.

I loved you more
Than words could say
But what could I do to move on

And you moved on

I made all the mistakes
And found myself on my knees
You were right
And finally
I thought that I could
Change your mind

And I lost

What future do I have
When all is lost
I just keep living without meaning
Now that you're gone

So I must go on
And every day I seek out
A pattern of difference
But I keep seeing
That there's no difference

I just didn't appreciate what you did
So I ****** up
And made you leave

So what have I done
To amend this fate

You were perfect
In every way

And I can hardly breath these days
You were motivation
When the smoke had cleared

And I just keep breathing
I'm swallowing the air
To in take and move on
To someone just like you

One chance this time
Is all it'd take

If I could just find you
And mend these mistakes

But I know you're gone
And all these ****** up songs
Wont change a thing
To make thing right

Cause I was wrong
And now you're gone
