  1. Forgotten leaf on a busy road
  2. You left scars on me when you fell off
  3. So you could go anywhere you choose
  4. And stick yourself on a stranger’s shoe
  5. It had been useless to keep you stuck on me
  6. When you still fall despite my warnings
  7. When will you learn
  8. And stop yourself from hurting?
  9.  
  10. Forgotten leaf on a busy road
  11. Among spits and garbage of every day
  12. Burn with the glare of the sun
  13. Freeze beside the uncaring snow
  14. Yet you fly with wind
  15. Flow wherever the flood takes you
  16. When will you rest
  17. Leave the road of your torture?
  18.  
  19. Forgotten leaf on a busy road
  20. You can’t forget whatever the wind brings you
  21. No matter how much they trample on you
  22. Brush you from their soles
  23. And never look back
  24. You hold on and you hurt
  25. When will you stop
  26. Purge the memories from you?
  27.  
  28. Forgotten leaf on a busy road
  29. You’re still green after everything
  30. You still wait for the stranger to step on you
  31. And take you wherever he goes
  32. His name is etched on your green skin
  33. And we know that you will never learn
  34. Just remember me when the sun dries you up
  35. It means I have already lost hope
  36. For you to find a lover
