It's hard for me to remember
September through November
I just remember the leaves were changing
You had this phrase that you kept on saying
Life is what it is, not what it was
And the calendar just haunts you
This is never what you wanted
This is never what you wanted

This was never what you wanted
This was never what you wanted
This was never what you wanted
This was never what you wanted

You made a promise that you couldn't keep
Now you're a body in a box buried six feet deep
Said that you would always be here for everything
You're missing everything
Now I'm screaming at the clouds while you take off
(Now I'm screaming at the clouds while you take off)
If you really need a bag, why you make off
(If you really need a bag why you make off)

It's hard for me to remember
September through November
I just remember the leaves were changing
You had this phrase that you kept on saying
Life is what it is not what it was
And the calendar just haunts you
This is never what you wanted
This is never what you wanted
This is never what you wanted
