Her love was the burn My heart was the blister From the second I kissed her In my dreams To awake Without her there And to go on with life Without seeming to care. Reaching for her Like earth to a star Falling for you I do from afar God waves the feather I take the bait A gift from the ether Before it's too late For this is a dream And soon I'll awake For love isn't real Save me the heartache Rip out our hearts and laugh like thieves Cursed be the mind for what it perceives Cleanse my soul before it grieves For I will fall when Autumn leaves I'm sorry I'm unsteady I thought I'd be ready To be there and charm you for life But instead I regret it Though I never said it When we felt alive in the night With you in my sight and your skin is pale white And your stare pierced my soul like a knife And the winds were just right. A moment of finding beauty Lost in darkness returning to light. For this is a dream And soon I'll awake For love isn't real Save me the heartache Rip out our hearts, and laugh like thieves Cursed be the mind for what it perceives Cleanse my soul before it grieves For I will fall when Autumn leaves. I miss when we dreamed and looked up at the skies When I look back now with my teardrop eyes All and all we did our part As I slowly die of a broken heart Wah-oh, oh-oh-oh Rip out our hearts, and laugh like thieves Cursed be the mind for what it perceives Cleanse my soul before it grieves For I will fall when Autumn leaves I miss when we dreamed and looked up at the skies When I look back now with my teardrop eyes All and all we did our part As I slowly die of a broken heart Oh no
