The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
Why couldn't you hear me
All the times I told you that love was gone
No you never heard me
Cos I know there was too much on you mind
Runnin around in a circle, tryin to catch up to myself
Runnin out of time
Losin' myself in the darkness, every time I played my hand
I was losin' every time
I knew I'd given all that I could give
That is why it had to end this way(This way)
I know that I hurt you
At a time you needed me there
Yes you did, yes I know
But my heart had been broken
And my mind was no longer there
I had to go, yes I did
Runnin' around in a circle, tryin'to catch up to myself
Runnin' out of time
Losin' myself in the darkness, every time I played my hand
I was losin' every time
I knew I'd given all that I could give
That is why it had to end this way(This way)
The leaves were down
Long before the autumn winds arrived
The leaves were down
Before the summer sun had gone
Long before the autumn winds arrived
I'm sorry that it had to be this way
Love was gone
