Dirty Leaves Lyrics - Singles - The Bronx

i never wanted to admit to this but my love wasn't true 

i rescue the lonely because i'm lonely too 

and the way you smile the way you laugh 

reminds me of myself 

before i fell apart like a drug infected heart 

all along in a city by the sea 

dirty leaves fall around 

all alone and suddenly it seems 

dirty leaves fall for you and me 

i never wanted your heart to break 

but we still knew it would 

impossible to save 

but did when i could 

i replaced your tears your loneliness with cigarettes and wine 

but you needed more and we ran out of time 

now your love is gone 

all all alone in the city by the sea 

dirty leaves fall all around 

and suddenly it seems 

dirty leaves fall for you and me 

and once again i'm torn between saving you or saving me 

that's why i begged you not to stay 

any longer than you should 

because i always knew you would 

and now it builds more every day 

until you're just an object in my way 

choking on the words i never wanted you to say 

all all alone in the city by the sea 

dirty leaves fall all around 

and suddenly it seems 

dirty leaves fall for you and me
