🎤 Autumn leaf
I’m Like an Autumn Leaf
I’m like an autumn leaf,
So unstable and fragile.
The wind makes it hard—
I can’t hold myself up,
I can’t.
I’m like an autumn leaf,
Broken by the coldest night,
Slowly about to die tonight,
Departing from this life,
From you.
I’m just a dead leaf today.
You’re yelling for me to stop,
But the wind keeps blowing.
It’s hard to hold on,
So I’m letting you go, just go.
I feel the rupture.
I’m held by a rope,
And as soon as it breaks,
I’ll be forever gone.
I’m floating alone,
Held by the clouds,
Flying away, higher and higher.
I’m drifting now.
I’m leaving today.
I’m leaving you now.
I’m afraid of the moment
I’ll touch the cold earth.
I know I’ll be just another one,
Covering the ground
Like a dead carpet of leaves.
A nobody—just one in a million leaves.
Would you recognize me?
Would you?
Time will fade my colors.
I’ll be withered and buried in dust.
I’ll vanish in silence,
But for a moment, I was yours.
I’m just a dead leaf today.
You’re yelling for me to stop,
But the wind keeps blowing.
It’s hard to hold on,
So I’m letting you go, just go.
