The lead cut from the fifth in ButterflyPolite's year of monthly singles.
lyrics
Laid in grass
Drifted away
Nothing lasts
Like blame and decay
Bridges burned
Stories forgotten
Pages turned
Yellow and rotten
And here's to you
Watch you sleeping
I've learned that you're leaving
Points of no return I believe in
I sing of love
But I don't touch the stuff
Cos it hurts when you dont get enough
And they say you'll never recover from losing a lover
But in the main we maintain we're okay (in the main)
And they say you'll never recover from losing another lover
But in the end you'll recover
Leaves fall from trees.
