Melissa Ferrick - When You Left lyrics

Never asked for answers

Only a fair shot

What I thought was expected

From the start

Now you told me you had one

Do you remember that?

And you told me I was worth it

Is it easy to forget that?

And I don't forget anything

It scares me half to death

But I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used

Baby when you left

Left me half full

Half full of emptiness

All bottled and bloodshot

Putting my hands to my head

And you smelled like denial

And my beer tasted like chalk

But I remember the sound of your footsteps

Like a ticking pocket watch

And I don't forget anything

It scares me half to death

But I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used

Baby when you left

I know that I never asked for love

Only a friend

And what I got was some kinda twisted figure of myself again

And I know that they say you should see yourself in your lovers

But I see my soul, baby

And it makes me wanna die

So now is not the time

To ask me to pray

Cause I can't seem to hold on

Any given day

So please, just let me stand here

And sing this song

Cause it's the only thing that ever gave to me

Without it I would drown

And I don't forget anything

It scares me half to death

But I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used

Baby when you left

When you left

When you left...
