“Leaves on Our Faces”

Verse 1

Some days we’re green like the start of May,

Wide-open hearts with nothing to say.

Then life blows cold, and the colors change,

A little more distance, a little more pain.

We wear our struggles where eyes can see,

Turning red with anger, then fading quietly.

Like leaves on a tree when the seasons turn,

Every shade tells a story of something we’ve learned.

Pre-Chorus

You can see it in my face,

I can see it in yours,

Every fight leaves another mark

We didn’t have before.

Chorus

Our faces turn like leaves in the fall,

Gold when we’re laughing, red when we’re mad,

Brown from the battles, tired from it all.

We change with the weather, we bend with the wind,

Sometimes we lose our color trying to win.

But underneath every shade we wear,

There’s still a heart beating underneath there.

We may fall, we may change, we may lose what we knew,

But like leaves in the spring, we can grow something new.

Verse 2

Some people turn bitter when the cold rolls in,

Some build a wall and won’t let nobody in.

Some turn orange with a fire they hide,

Some go quiet and let the hurt decide.

We all have seasons we don’t understand,

Times when we’re breaking but still trying to stand.

And sometimes the attitude ain’t who we are,

It’s just a bruise from carrying too far.

Pre-Chorus

You can hear it in my voice,

I can hear it in yours,

Sometimes we’re fighting each other

When we’re really fighting storms.

Chorus

Our faces turn like leaves in the fall,

Gold when we’re laughing, red when we’re mad,

Brown from the battles, tired from it all.

We change with the weather, we bend with the wind,

Sometimes we lose our color trying to win.

But underneath every shade we wear,

There’s still a heart beating underneath there.

We may fall, we may change, we may lose what we knew,

But like leaves in the spring, we can grow something new.

Bridge

Maybe falling isn’t always the end,

Maybe it’s how we learn to begin again.

Let the old colors fall to the ground,

Make room for the green when the sun comes around.

Because every heart gets weathered somehow,

And every leaf has to let go now.

Final Chorus

Our faces turn like leaves in the fall,

Gold from the memories, red from it all,

Brown from the battles that made us stand tall.

We change with the seasons, we bend with the wind,

Lose our way sometimes, then find it again.

And underneath every color we show,

There’s a part of us nobody knows.

We may fall, we may change, we may break through,

But when spring comes around,

We can turn green again too.

Repeat Outro

We may fall, we may change, we may break through,

But when spring comes around,

We can turn green again too.

Turn green again…

Turn green again…

Like leaves in the spring,

We can start again too.
