You wore that hoodie I gave last fall Still too big, sleeves past your hand We laughed like nothing changed at all But I felt time slip through the sand You looked away when I looked close Why does silence say the most? Leaves were dancing at our feet But your smile felt incomplete Burnt orange sky, you turned away Words we saved just slip away Held my breath, but not too long Guess I knew it all along Burnt orange glow, fading light I was yours, but not quite right Even now, when nights grow cold Your shadow still feels like gold You traced shapes on the café glass Didn’t ask, just let it pass All those plans we left in ink Now they only make me think I smiled like it didn’t sting But I still wear your silver ring Memories that don’t expire Burning slow like autumn fire Burnt orange sky, you turned away Words we saved just slip away Held my breath, but not too long Guess I knew it all along Burnt orange glow, fading light I was yours, but not quite right Even now, when nights grow cold Your shadow still feels like gold Still walk past that corner store Still hear you in my metaphor Burnt orange sunsets say your name Every color feels the same Burnt orange sky, we slipped apart But you still warm a piece of heart Every laugh, a sweet disguise Every ending wears a sunrise Burnt orange glow, I let you go Soft as leaves beneath the snow Even now, I see you stay In the light of yesterday
