Say goodbye to autumn leaves Dust the ashes from my sleeve Oh sweet serenity Won't you sing to me a melody Of what used to be Of what used to be Why can't we take this day by day I'm done holding on To everything that's killing me Look me in the eyes and say it's over I know I said I'd never let you down There's not a day that I don't blame myself Don't blame myself Can you practice what you preach Because your words ain't killing me Oh crippling reality What's in store for me Except sweet misery You paint me into the color of these walls No escaping Your voice is in these halls I'm done holding on To everything that's killing me Look me in the eyes and say it's over I know I said I'd never let you down There's not a day that I don't blame myself Why can't we take this day by day Why can't we take this day by day Why can't we take this day by day Why can't we take this day by day I'm done holding on to everything that's killing me Look me in the eyes and say it's over I'm done holding on To everything that's killing me Look me in the eyes and say it's over Oh sweet serenity Won't you sing to me a melody Of what used to be Of what used to be Why can't we take this day by day Why can't we take this day by day Why can't we take this day by day Why can't we take this day by day
