I saw your headlights in the window My face was pressed against the glass I waited for years for you to return before I learned That you were never coming back
I'm gonna close my eyes before I start to scream
I'm dwelling on things I've never noticed You won't save yourself, you'll never save me I only stumbled once for a moment, it was over I think I'll close my eyes before I start to scream
You said today's the day goodbye just won't wait
(Chorus) And if you need me to, I'll wait until September It's come and gone, November's on its way So easy to forget and hard to remember, I remember The way to getting back our self-esteem
The lines on your face are getting clearer To me you'll always be 23 They said you wouldn't hold on too much longer But you're so much stronger than they ever thought you'd be
I'm gonna open up and tell you everything
(Chorus) And if you need me to, I'll wait until September It's come and gone, November's on its way So easy to forget and hard to remember, I remember The way to getting back our self-esteem
(Bridge) Oh yeah, no regrets You got no one left I hope that every step reminds you of the ones that you left
(Chorus) And if you need me to, I'll wait until September, yeah It's come and gone, November's on its way, on its way, yeah So easy to forget and hard to remember, I remember The way to getting back our self-esteem, oh yeah Back our self-esteem, oh
They said you wouldn't hold on too much longer But you're so much stronger than they ever thought you'd be
