[Verse 1: mzlff]
It’s hardest to say “sorry,” “goodbye,” and “farewell,”
Harder to act, rather than just to tell
Easier to let go, start anew
With a clean slate, a chance to break through
With the truth that I never had to betray
Time for you to live will not slip away
Forgive me, farewell
Living on with sadness that I can’t dispel (Just don’t fade away)
With songs for summer and winter’s cold grip
I promise one day we’ll grow strong in our trip
All that I have is either gained or spent
Maybe this price is what happiness meant
I tried my best but fell short, it seems
Either I was too late or lost in my dreams, alas
A thousand chances crossed my way
And I’m unsure if the right path I did sway
And still, I don’t know if I chose right back then
The path that I tread with my thoughts again
[Chorus: mzlff]
And let autumn leaves fall down
Bringing sorrow, deep all around
You know, it’s not such a plight
If we can sing about it tonight
[Verse 2: mzlff]
Life won’t teach us, that’s the truth
No matter how hard you plead, in youth
It wants to know what’s the best way
But it doesn’t know whom to obey
From you, a person will come, it’s clear
No need for efforts, let go of the fear
With a hundred thousand “whys?” and “what’s the reason?”
The question will come: “So why do you keep on in this season?” (All of that)
I promised myself once, ten years before
Naively I thought I’d escape from the war
So many times I ran from reality’s call
Afraid that I’d never be accepted at all
At least in abstraction, I swore I would fight
And I know I’m not liked by many in sight
It will hurt, it will pass, I promise we’ll grow
A thousand chances came, but I just don’t know
And still, I don’t know if the right path was my own
The path that I walked, all alone
[Chorus: mzlff & Kristina Sherman]
And let autumn leaves fall down (Leaves fall down)
Bringing sorrow, deep all around (Deep all around)
You know, it’s not such a plight
If we can sing about it tonight (Sing about it)
And let autumn leaves fall down (Leaves fall down)
Bringing sorrow, deep all around (Deep all around)
You know, it’s not such a plight
If we can sing about it tonight (Sing about it)
