The way you left me

(Verse 1) That old porch light still flickers at night, Like it’s waitin’ on you to pull up the drive. I still pour two cups, though it’s just me here, Your ghost sits down and sips my tears. (Pre-Chorus) Every song on that radio dial, Cuts a little deeper, mile after mile. (Chorus) It’s the way you left me — slow like rain, No goodbye kiss, just the sound of pain. I keep your picture on the dash, 'Cause memories burn slower than gas. And I’d trade this broken heart for empty, If I could forget the way you left me. (Verse 2) There’s your hair tie still hangin’ on my rearview, Ain’t got the heart to throw away what’s you. The bed’s too big, the nights too long, The house don’t hum our favorite song. (Pre-Chorus) I tried movin’ on, but it don’t take, You can’t fix a soul that won’t stop breakin’. (Chorus) It’s the way you left me — quiet and cold, Like a story half-written, left untold. Your perfume still owns my dreams, Your name still rips my seams. And I’d trade this hurt for nothin’, maybe, If I could forget the way you left me. (Bridge) I drive past your mama’s house too slow, Wonder if she knows I still can’t let go. The stars don’t shine the same since you’re gone, Even the night feels all wrong. (Final Chorus — soft to strong) It’s the way you left me — torn and true, Like a promise carved in old tattoo. You’re gone, but you ain’t gone clean, You live in every in-between. And I’d give forever, baby, Just to forget the way you left me. (Outro — whisper-soft) Yeah… the way you left me. Still bleedin’ slow… still lovin’ you.
