I hate the silence... and the crushing hope
That I'll hear the vibration of my phone
I hate the night time, and the thought that you're okay
While I'm losing sleep and can't breathe while I wait
For your phone call, for your text, for you to reach to me
For the end-all of this mess, and find a way that we
Can move on from this or can go back to the start
Give me one last kiss, before we break apart
'Cause I don't wanna say
That this is the end... that this is all over
So can't we pretend... that we're alright
I want you to know, my little October
I'll still be here, y'know, I'll still hang tight
I hate the darkness... hate the sound of my voice
As it calls into the night just to give me some noise
Like a wasp on the window, begging to get in
Feel your sting on my skin, releasing your venom
Put me under, put me out, put me in my place
Push over over, push me down, that I can find a way
Back to your good graces, back to what we used to have
'Cause I want to face this, and not put you in the past
'Cause I don't wanna say
That this is the end... that this is all over
So can't we pretend... that we're alright
I want you to know, my little October
I'll still be here, y'know, I'll still hang tight
I can still feel a part of you here with me
Like a ghost of you is clinging like a memory
Like a sound in the shadows, like a light in the dark
Like a skeleton's bony hand gripped onto my heart
'Cause I don't wanna say
That this is the end... that this is all over
So can't we pretend... that we're alright
I want you to know, my little October
I'll still be here, y'know, I'll still hang tight
