Before October's Gone
Our phone calls got shorterAnd the nights they got longerYou stopped replyingAnd I saw you with her
You tell me you miss meI feel special for a secondBut then you turn around and show methat you didn't mean it
I listen to your voicemail from last SeptemberAnd I bet that you don't remember leaving itBut it's all I gotMy last piece of you
Maybe sometimes things just have to endMaybe sometimes there's just no explaining itBut you could've let me knowYou'd be moving on before October's gone
I heard all the rumorsI didn't want to believe itYou barely mentioned her onceI didn't think anything of it
Sitting there on my drivewaySaid you could listen to me all nightNow you're the boy who never meant itAnd I'm just the girl who "took it all the wrong way"
Now I'm lost hereIt's mid-DecemberAnd you made it official with herI was naive, you never wanted meTell me why'd you do this to me?
Maybe sometimes things just have to endMaybe sometimes there's just no explaining itBut you could've let me knowYou'd be moving on before October's gone
On that October night when I let you goYou didn't even try to make me stay, noI didn't know that you could be so coldLike the Minnesota snow
Somehow I always knew we'd end up this wayAnd I hope you feel happy somedayI just wanted you to open up to meBut now that's on the list of things you never did
Maybe sometimes things just have to endMaybe sometimes there's just no explaining it
But you could've let me knowYou'd be moving onYou'd be moving onYou'd be moving on before October's gone
