The weather grows colder,
Along with your heart.
When you left me that night.
Alone in October.

In death, the leaves are beautiful
As they fall to the ground.
As I fall in October, darkness takes its toll.
There is no beauty as I die.

Alone in October.
The days grow darker and darker.
My tears fall like the leaves.

Alone in October.
The days grow colder and colder.
I feel as bare as the trees.

Alone in October.
With no escape of the cold.
Alone in October.
With no one to hold.

I bundle up in a coat of your lies.
And a scarf of broken promises,
Makes it hard for me to breathe.
I'm alone in October, with no one to hear my cries.

There is no one to save me.
I am hidden beneath these leaves.
The memory of you buries me deeper and deeper.
I am truly alone in October.
