Lyrics

Some things aren’t meant to stay
Seasons pass and people change
It might hurt, but that’s okay
Some things aren’t meant to stay

Honey you can leave, it don’t phase me
My roots run deep and I’ll be fine

Cause you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree
You’re in with the spring and gone with the breeze
You’ll turn yellow when it starts to freeze
Then I’ll take my branches and shake you from me
Cause honey you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree

Your love is bittersweet
It comes on strong, but it leaves me weak
It’s all I want, and all I don’t need
Cause baby, your love is bittersweet

And honey you can leave, that chill might sting
But my roots run deep and I’ll be fine

Cause you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree
You’re in with the spring and gone with the breeze
You’ll turn yellow when it starts to freeze
Then I’ll take my branches and shake you from me
Cause honey you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree

Meant to be is sometimes short and sweet
So as the air grows cold and you turn gold
I’ll set you free

Cause you ain’t nothin’ but a leaf on my tree
Now I’m watching you slip away from me
You’ll float on as a memory
And I’ll make new ones in the spring
Honey, I’ll make new ones in the spring
