August Moon Lyrics
I must be crazy
I can't see straight anymore
I'm ten feet from your door
Surprise, dear
You both don't know
That I'm here watching alone
My worst fear, now my home
Such a cruel,
Such a cruel heart
Such a cruel, cruel heart
Her eyes they shine on you
While I stay under the august moon
And I pray sleep comes soon
Why did I come here?
Look what you've undone, dear
Once two, now one here
Just a cruel,
Just a cruel heart
Just a cruel, cruel heart
I know what I'm gonna say
When I go, who I'm gonna blame
In this pain, in this goodbye
And I'm brave, broken down
And I crave the very ground
That I'm slave to
And I'll cry on
Now I'm ten feet from your door
My heart beats, not anymore
I'm empty and not yours
Just a cruel,
Just a cruel heart
Just a cruel, cruel, cruel heart
Just a cruel, cruel heart
I can't see straight anymore
I'm ten feet from your door
You both don't know
That I'm here watching alone
My worst fear, now my home
Such a cruel heart
Such a cruel, cruel heart
While I stay under the august moon
And I pray sleep comes soon
Look what you've undone, dear
Once two, now one here
Just a cruel heart
Just a cruel, cruel heart
When I go, who I'm gonna blame
In this pain, in this goodbye
And I'm brave, broken down
And I crave the very ground
That I'm slave to
And I'll cry on
My heart beats, not anymore
I'm empty and not yours
Just a cruel heart
Just a cruel, cruel, cruel heart
Just a cruel, cruel heart

So I imagine this to be like what would happen If my boyfriend and I broke up. The first time I heard it, I pictured myself laying on the grass under the moon in his yard while he's inside with another girl. This song leaves a haunting, empty feeling in my heart. I love him.
Sara Bareilles states that this song was about her and her ex, that he had cheated on her.
"Surprise, dear You both don't know That I'm here watching alone My worst fear, now my home.." -meaning that her ex and his girlfriend don't know that she was watching them together..
"Her eyes they shine on you While I stay under the august moon And I pray sleep comes soon..." -meaning that her ex's girlfriend looks at him with love, and while she watches the both of them, she is hurt.
"I know what I'm gonna say When I go, who I'm gonna blame In this pain, in this goodbye And I'm brave, broken down And I crave the very ground That I'm slave to And I'll cry on.." -meaning that she's ready to break up, and she knows who to blame, which is him, and that shes brave enough to tell him that its over even though she's hurt of what she's seen.
I love this song :]
