You Be the Leaver

[Verse 1]
I saw your note, your missing coat
I didn't understand completely
Then later on, crying on the phone
You said you need to change the scenery

[Chorus]
You took my breath away
You know I can't pretend
That it couldn't end
But it was never on my mind
So, you be the leaver
And I'll the left behind

[Verse 2]
I won your heart, but from the start
You told me nothing lasts forever
Then day by day, I watched you fade
'Til we were hardly seen together

[Chorus]
I can't explain
Oh, well I guess I knew
As the shadows grew
But there was always so much time
So, you be the leaver
And I'll be the left behind

[Bridge]
Oh, it's not so much more than I've felt before
And I'm fine out on my own
But it's strange to find when I look in your eyes
No one I had known

[Verse 3]
I hear your name, know where you've been
I don't know how I feel about it
But comfort comes when friends bring love
You know I wrap my arms around them

[Chorus]
You made it so
Oh, can you tell me true
No matter what I'd do
Did you always know the time
When you'd be the leaver
And I'd be the left behind?

[Outro]
Oh, you'd be the leaver
And I'd be the left behind
