Why I Left You – John Taylor
8/7/07 7:53 pm Antelope Acres, for nobody in particular
Well the phone don't ring
And the birds don't sing
And the stars don't shine
Since I left you
Yeah I'm all alone
Sleep chilled to the bone
This place just ain't home (No place for home)
Since I left you
And I know this is what I wanted
At least, I thought I wanted to! (I thought I was through with you)
Won't you take me back
Mom will help me pack -
She's been mis-er-able too...
Since I left you
Didn't realize
How you'd hypnotized
How I'd miss your eyes,
Til I left you
Didn't have a clue
I'd be needing you
I could feel this blue
Til I left you
And I know this is what I wanted
At least, I thought I wanted to! (I thought I was through with you)
Won't you take me back
Mom will help me pack -
All the bills are over-due
Since I left you
What's that you say
Say you've been okay
Even better off
Since I left you?
Haven't thought of me
Since you're finally free
Hearin' symphonies
Since I left you?
Breakin up was my idea
Them's the rules – you can't dump me too!
Hey I dumped you first!
Who says I'm self-immersed?
No, you're the worst!
That's why I left you.
