It's about the regret of an old man
When I die all that will remain will be my sadness
I will live forever on the falling leaves of autumn
I will become the color orange

No one’s told me they loved me the way that you did
You put your hands in the fire and kept them there until it all went dark
It took me a while to find my way out

You told me that you loved me in words that I could not understand
Love lives forever, but only in a broken heart
And only if you are the one that's breaking it

Love lives on in the pieces
It lives on in the words of a man whose only prayer is for the sky
To make him whole again
