Well, the first of September
Brought in the best that I'd had
It wasn’t me that you wanted
You were fixed on a thought and so sad
But tears don't dry up in the rain
They fall from your cheeks
And they run down your frame
Well, the first of September
Showed me how cruel I could be
I spent that whole week
Getting mad at the man you believed
And you didn't tell me that smile
Was loaded with worries
And bent with denial
And we sang
Let’s use one another
But I can't remember that night
I just draw a blank when I try and I do
I love picking flowers and dancing with moons
But I hate what I did to you
But you can't say it meant nothing at all
'Cause I saw the lights when all the lights were turned low
Made a wilderness call
But it's not your fault
It's not your fault
I'm good to my mother
She'll tell you I know how to be
I used to be young
And I sang about shit I believed
And I try my best not to lie
I help when I can
And I know wrong from right
I’m good to my mother
My friends can attest to my light
But I took advantage
And promised you things that I fight
I’m not who I was at the time
I hate what I've done
I don’t sleep well at night
And we sang
Let's use one another
But I can't remember that night
I just draw a blank when I try and I do
I love picking flowers and dancing with moons
But I hate what I did to you
But you can't say it meant nothing at all
’Cause I saw the lights when all the lights were turned low
Made a wilderness call
But it's not your fault
It's not your fault
Oh, 'cause we sang, let's use one another
We sang and tried to believe everything
'Cause you knew that I wanted to hear
And I knew what you wanted to hear
And you knew what I wanted to hear
And I knew what you wanted to hear
So now I get wasted and yell at the Moon
'Cause I hate what I did to you
