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
We're all alone
In the city by the sea
The dirty leaves fall all alone
We're all alone
And suddenly it seems
The dirty leaves fall
For you and me
I never wanted your heart to break
But we still knew it would
Impossible to save
But I did what I could
I replaced your tears
Your lonliness
With cigarettes and wine
But you needed more
And we ran outta time
And now your love is
Now your love is gone
We're all alone
In the city by the sea
The dirty leaves fall all alone
We're all alone
And suddenly it seems
The dirty leaves fall
For you and me
Once again i'm torn between
Saving you and saving me
That's why I begged you not to stay
Any longer than you should
Because I always knew you would
[Not sure what he sings for these two lines]
Choking on the words I never wanted you to say
We're all alone
In the city by the sea
The dirty leaves fall all alone
We're all alone
And suddenly it seems
The dirty leaves fall
For you and me
