September Lyrics

I'm not the one that you should call

When you're lonely and confused

I've always kept my circle small

Afraid of cutting someone loose

I never opened up my heart

Afraid of losing you right from the start

But I'm gonna pour it all out now

And see what you can take

I'm not gonna blame myself

If you wash away

When I left you last September

Did it ever cross your mind

That I was only buying us some time?

When I left you

Your heart was always made of gold

But in our time apart it lost its mold

But maybe there's a silver lining

Underneath her skin

Somewhere I can fall to

When I sleep with her again

But then you tell me break it like a man

Another broken heart in my hands

Time don't phase this man the way it used to

I could lose a year and hardly know

You could show up burning with your love for me

And I'd just take it slow

Like when I left you

When I left you last September

Did it ever cross your mind

That I was only buying us some time?

And your heart was almost broken

When I took you back inside

Never had to know that you were mine

Until I left you

Until I left you
