You stare at the red leaves of the tree.
That's the place where you first met me
It was Fall, but the leaves did not shine.
I never did a single thing to harm you.
You must have got bored, and tossed me aside.
You must have thought when you didn't hear back it was over
Well you were right, and now it's done.
You stare at the red leaves of the tree.
From the ground beneath my feet,
The once starving roots - now feed on your bones.
Now I stare at the red leaves of the tree.
And the leaves shine.

It was Fall, but the leaves did not shine.

I never did a single thing to harm you.
Not that you ever cared.
You must have got bored, and tossed me aside.

You must have thought when you didn't hear back it was over
You must have thought from my silence you were free.
Well you were right, and now it's done.

You stare at the red leaves of the tree.
Am              F          E
From the ground beneath my feet,
			      Am	      (BCBGA)
The once starving roots - now feed on your bones.

Now I stare at the red leaves of the tree.
It's fall again, for me.
And the leaves shine.
And the leaves shine.

Feeling irrationally angry at a failed relationship, to the point about fantasizing about murder. Also trying to work in a clever twist into a story song, where the listener would only find out the singer of the song is dead in the last verse.
Jesus.
