let me repeat that, you left me
and that’s how i’ll remember it
nothing more, nothing lessand god damnit, i wanted a future with you
i planned it all in my head
for not callingfor not showing you carefor moving across the countryfor leaving me
you left me, you know,
let me repeat that, you left me
and that’s how i’ll remember it
nothing more, nothing less
and god damnit, i wanted a future with you
i planned it all in my head
and hindsight’s twenty twenty
i know i was a fool
but i still know it was your fault
and i won’t accept any other explanation
i’ve got to put my foot down on something, you know
and so i left you
and i thought that would surprise you
but you have so much on your mind
to worry ‘bout ‘lil ol’ me, don’t you
i wonder if you even knew i was there
there are many things i could have told you
and never did
and i want some kind of closure
so i can put you behind me forever
so i will no longer think
that i was your only hope
