Before October's Gone (Acoustic)

Our phone calls got shorter and the nights, they got longer

You stopped replying and I saw you with her

You tell me you miss me, I feel special for a second

But then you turn around and show me that you didn't mean it

I listen to your voicemail from last September

And I bet that you don't remember leaving it

But it's all I got, my last piece of you

Maybe sometimes things just have to end

Maybe sometimes there's just no explaining it, oh

But you could've let me know

You'd be moving on before October's gone

I heard all the rumors

I didn't want to believe it

You barely mentioned her once

I didn't think anything of it

Sitting there on my driveway

Said you could listen to me all night

Now you're the boy who never meant it

And I'm just the girl who took it all the wrong way

Now I'm lost here

It's mid-December

And you made it official with her

I was naïve, you never wanted me

Tell me why'd you do this to me?

Maybe sometimes things just have to end

Maybe sometimes there's just no explaining it, oh

But you could've let me know

You'd be moving on before October's gone

On that October night when I let you go

You didn't even try to make me stay, no

I didn't know that you could be so cold

Like the Minnesota snow

Somehow I always knew we'd end up this way

And I hope you feel happy someday

I just wanted you to open up to me

Now that's on the list of things you never did (oh...)

Maybe sometimes things just have to end

Maybe sometimes there's just no explaining it, woah

But you could've let me know

You'd be moving on

You'd be moving on

You'd be moving on before October's gone
