miles down the highway i called you on the phone
couldn't bring myself to tell you when i had you all alone
'cause I loved you like a summer's day those nights spent in your arms
I said i'd never leave you, guess i'll be doing you some harm

'cause that's the old me talking, the new me's walking
loved you until the truth came knocking darlin'
it's a cold october
that's the old me talking, the new me's walking
some hards are just made for locking darlin'
its a cold october

now leaving you ain't easy, they say some love never dies
but ours got lost in silence, no longer recognized
so i left you in the rear view, saw you standing by the door
that one last kiss was for all things that i don't feel no more


'cause that's the old me talking, the new me's walking
loved you until the truth came knocking darlin'
it's a cold october
yeah that's the old me talking, the new me's walking
some hards are just made for locking darlin'
its a cold october

it's gonna be a cold october
