歌詞

Your glass is still beside the sink

A silver ring where summer used to drink

I kept the windows shut for weeks

Like holding heat could keep you close to me

Then midnight moved the curtain

Cold enough to make me know

The room was not the reason

You were gone before you let me go

You changed first!

Before the leaves, before the light

You changed first!

I saw the winter in your eyes

I blamed the cold, I blamed September

I blamed anything but you

The air was only warning me

You changed first!

You changed first!

Whoa-oh, you changed first

Whoa-oh, you changed first

Last peaches of a dying year

Bruised on the counter, disappeared

Your name kept burning in my phone

Every word got shorter

Every silence said you're gone

No final door, no sirens

Just a distance growing slow

Maybe I already knew it

I just didn't want to know

You changed first!

Before the leaves, before the light

You changed first!

I saw the winter in your eyes

I blamed the cold, I blamed September

I blamed anything but you

The air was only warning me

You changed first!

You changed first!

Endings never fall like thunder

They begin a mile away

In the distance in your eyes

In the words you wouldn't say

Now September cuts the window

And I let the cold come through

It can't break what you already broke

It only tells the truth

You changed first!

Before the leaves, before the light

You changed first!

And I survived the longest night

I blamed the cold, I blamed September

Till the truth came breaking through

The air had never taken you

You changed first!

You changed first!

You changed first!
