Lyrics
What You're Leaving Behind
If the morning knew my fate
It would've told me to fall back asleep
It would've tried to protect me
From secrets I thought you'd never keep
How could you kiss me goodnight
And touch my hair like you always do
Knowing the next day your plan
Was to tell me that we were through
And you gave me no warning signs
You tried so hard to hide
I must have been so blind
Chorus
You don't answer why you don't even try
Instead you kept it locked up inside
You can't justify what you're leaving behind
You can't justify what you're leaving behind
So many years have come and gone
I believed that we were home free
And I would've bet all I had
You'd be the last to ever leave
And with so much at stake
You started dancing to a different tune
Though more than one heart would break
You gave yours to someone new
And you gave me no warning signs
You tried so hard to hide
I must have been so blind
Repeat Chorus
