I'm sorry baby but I was feeling invisible
When Mona walked into to the kitchen
asking 'bout how I've been

One thing led to another - her hand brushed against my hand
Yeah, I know she's got her man
but he was treating her cruel, you see

Simple words exchanged - we were meeting on Tuesday
Autumn leaves blew by
all the trees were dying just like our love

Now, I'm packing a suitcase, looking for a place to live
that doesn't involve you screaming
every time I enter a room

If you cared that much about me when we were lovers it would change all this
but it's too late for starting over
I've got my bags packed, I've got my new life

Simple words exchanged - we would meet on Tuesdays
Watching Fall turn into Winter time
All the trees were dead just like our love

Maybe the new lives we have are not what we thought they would be
Maybe the new loves we have are not quite as good as they seem
But the summer leaves change and fall off to make way for the Winter time
It's the same in this heart of mine

I'm sorry baby but the feeling was mutual
You probably won't admit it
there goes your selfish pride

One thing led to another- my heart demanded that I make a change
I was useless to stop it from changing
it said to leave you behind

Simple choice to make - like the leaves in Autumn
They have to fall away for the new ones to take their place
