Sunlight pours through the maples, Gold filling the cracks in the pavement. I stand still, watching how it settlesā As if it knows how to return again. A gentle ache deep within, A quiet fire in the leaves. I lean into the silence, And it leans toward me in return. [Pre-chorus] Every branch whispers: "Let go," Every color pleads: "Stay." I feel the change within, Like a sweater soaked in the rain. [Chorus] I am like autumn, I am like autumnā A little sad, yet beautiful. I am like autumn. I am like autumn, Softened by the wind, But still resilient. [Verse 2] A crimson glint in the windowpane, Russet leaves in my hair. I carry this quiet descent within meā Like a secret that has become a part of me. No need to call it a breaking point, No need to call it the cold. Sometimes light arrives in moments of farewell, And some hearts are woven of gold. [Pre-chorus] Every branch whispers: "Let go," Every color pleads: "Stay." I feel the change within, Like a sweater soaked in the rain. [Chorus] I am like autumn, I am like autumnā A little sad, yet beautiful. I am like autumn. I am like autumn, I am like autumnā Softened by the wind, But still resilient. [Bridge] If you see me on the threshold of changeā Don't ask me to become summer again; Let me simply be myself. [Final Chorus] I am like autumn, I am like autumn ā A little sad, but beautiful. I am like autumn. I am like autumn, I am like autumn ā Softened by the wind, But still resilient. [Outro] Gold on the pavement, Gold in my name. I am like autumn, And I feel good. [ end ]
