Lyrics Dirty Leaves - Mariachi El Bronx

I never wanted to admit to this
But my love wasn't true
I rescue the lonely
Because I'm lonely too
And the way you smile
The way you laugh
Reminds me of myself
Before I fell apart
Like a drug infected heart

We're all alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
We're all alone and suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me

I never wanted your heart to break
But we still knew it would
Impossible to save
But I did what I could
I replaced your fears
Your loneliness
With cigarettes and wine
But you needed more
And we ran out of time

We're all alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
We're all alone and suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me

Once again I'm torn between
Saving you or saving me
That's why I begged you not to stay
Any longer than you should
Because I always knew you would
And now it builds more every day
Until you're just an object in my way
Choking on the words
I never wanted you to say, say

We're all alone in the city by the sea
Dirty leaves fall all around
We're all alone and suddenly it seems
Dirty leaves fall for you and me
