The Girl I Left Behind Me

[Verse 1]

You told me not to try and tie you down

So, I just took my place and hung around

You always said that you must be free

Well, you couldn't see you were losing me

And messing up the one good thing we had

[Chorus]

I'm going out the same way I came in

The game is over now, I couldn't win

Down inside, I feel alive

But this time, girl, I won't be back

And years from now, I'll turn around and see

The girl I left behind me

[Verse 2]

I told myself that things would be okay

You'd come around to my way any day

As time went on, you just stayed the same

No, you, you couldn't change, or be rearranged

I'm picking up the pieces of my life

[Chorus]

Well, I'm going out the same way I came in

The game is over now, I couldn't win

Down inside, I feel alive

But this time, girl, I won't be back

And years from now, I'll turn around and see

The girl I left behind me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

And I'm picking up the pieces of my life

[Chorus]

Well, I'm going out the same way I came in

The game is over now, I couldn't win

Down inside, I feel alive

But this time, girl, I won't be back

And years from now, I'll turn around and see

The girl I left behind me
