[Verse 1] You left me in September But October's when it hit Driving past your house now Where we carved our names in it Leaves are turning colors Like the way you turned away [Pre-Chorus] I'm falling with the season Can't seem to find the words to say [Chorus] October, you're so beautiful But you remind me what I lost Orange skies and empty nights I'm counting up the cost October, hold me gently I'm breaking at the seams You're everything I wanted But you're not what we could be [Verse 2] Remember that October Three years back in time? You were mine and I was sure That you'd be forever mine Now I'm here without you And the cold comes creeping in [Chorus] October, you're so beautiful But you remind me what I lost Orange skies and empty nights I'm counting up the cost October, hold me gently I'm breaking at the seams You're everything I wanted But you're not what we could be [Bridge] The pumpkins on your porch are gone The sweater that you left behind I wear it when the darkness comes And pretend you're still mine [Final Chorus] October, you're so beautiful But you remind me what I lost Orange skies and empty nights I'm counting up the cost October, let me go now Release me from these dreams You're everything I'll always want But not what's meant for me
