Leave Me Behind

Ah-ah-ah, ooh-oh-oh
You left without a sound
Left me in this silence, now I drown

You walked away like it meant nothing
No goodbye, no reason, no warning
Just the echo of your footsteps
And a bed still cold from your absence
I gave you pieces I should’ve kept
You took them all, and then you left
Now I'm staring at empty skies
Trying to forget your goodbye

I called your name, but it fades like dust
Trusted you with all my trust
Now I'm stuck in this rewind
Guess you were always gonna leave me behind

Leave me behind, like I was nothing to you
Like our love wasn’t ever true
I'm still here, picking up the ache
From a heart you didn’t hesitate to break
Leave me behind, go on, pretend
Like we were never more than just pretend
But I remember how you lied
Still hurts how you left me behind

I'm still in the place you left
Still in the words you never said

I counted stars to forget your face
But every one still holds your trace
The way you smiled when you were lying
The way you kissed me while deciding
That I was not what you were looking for
Now I'm just a closed door
To someone who never even knocked right
And left in the middle of the night

I called for you in every dream
But silence answers louder than it seems
You had your chance, you made your choice
Now all I hear is your fading voice

Leave me behind, like I was nothing to you
Like our love wasn’t ever true
I'm still here, picking up the ache
From a heart you didn’t hesitate to break
Leave me behind, go on, pretend
Like we were never more than just pretend
But I remember how you lied
Still hurts how you left me behind

Maybe one day you'll regret
All the things you just forget
But I won’t be here waiting still
I’ll climb this heartbreak up the hill

And when you realize what you lost
I’ll be the memory that haunts your thoughts

Leave me behind, like I was nothing to you
Like our love wasn’t ever true
I'm still here, picking up the ache
From a heart you didn’t hesitate to break
Leave me behind, go on, pretend
Like we were never more than just pretend
But I remember how you lied
And yeah, it still hurts, how you left me behind

Left me behind
Oh, you left me
And I, I stayed
Behind
