Left Me Behind
Lyrics
Right now there's a man laying in my bed
I use to call him mine but he feels more like a stranger instead
So I went and dyed my black hair blonde
I know you don't want me no more
I was just hoping I could turn you on
Who are you wanting now?
It ain't me, babe, it ain't me
Aren't you wondering how
I became a painful memory?
I go back to a March night
When I kissed you underneath street lights
And all your bottles in my floorboard
Hey baby, why don't you want me no more?
All day, there’s a sadness rolling through my mind
I'm constantly reminded you once left me behind
You know, I don't remember all the fighting words we said
Tell me, baby, am I crazy, did I make it up in my head?
Who are you wanting now?
It ain't me, babe, it ain't me
Aren't you wondering how
I became a painful memory?
And I go back to a March night
When I kissed you underneath street lights
And all your bottles in my floorboard
Hey, baby, why don't you want me anymore?
I think I know just who she is
But I won't open my mouth
I won't mention it
Cause I can't stand to see the rage in your eyes
But who am I kidding, baby?
We're both real good with our lies
Who are you wanting now?
It ain't me, babe, it ain't me
Aren't you wondering how
I became a painful memory?
I go back to a March night
When I kissed you underneath street lights
And all your bottles in my floorboard
Hey, baby, why don't you want me anymore?
