September

We stumbled by chance, while I was late as always
You were wandering freely through the streets of toronto
Hello, I'm sorry, I'm late, I rushed past you in haste
But something in your eyes stirred a feeling deep inside

At six o'clock, as the Sun began to set
Heading home, you stood at the place where we met
You wanted to know my name, to learn who I could be
But I was just a girl of twenty with a heart scarred by love's debris

You said, not everyone is the same
Then we walked the streets, your jacket, your vintage style
It seemed you knew the kind of man I liked
This became our routine, day by day

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Not everything was about me, but I wished it could be
Your gaze held me captive, made me feel this way
September will never be the same
For I lost myself in the game

Days turned into months, you knelt and asked
If I would accept you as my true love, a future unmasked
The answer was clear, I loved you from the start
We went to grand places where you made me feel like a queen

But weeks passed and you started acting strange
I asked if you were okay, but silence remained
Your scent no longer sweet, your habits the same
But for me, they were different, I was no longer your flame

A knot in my throat, I questioned the change
Until you spoke her name, everything rearranged

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Not everything was about me, but I wished it could be
Your gaze held me captive, made me feel this way
September will never be the same
For I lost myself in the game

Oh, the nights we spent in laughter
The dreams we shared, the hereafter
Now it all feels like a distant memory
You and her, my tragic symphony

Not everything was about me, but I wished it could be
Your gaze held me captive, made me feel this way
September will never be the same
For I lost myself in the game

September will never be the same
For I lost myself, I lost myself in the game
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I lost myself in the game
