I saw your note Your missin' coat And I didn't understand completely. Then later on, Cryin' on the phone You said you need to change the scenery. 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, I'll be the left behind. I won your heart, From the start, You told me nothin' lasts forever. Then day-by-day, I watched you fade Til' we were hardly seen together. 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, I'll be the left behind. Oh it's not much more, Then I felt before, Find out on my own. But strange to find, When I look in your eyes, No one I had known. I hear your name, Know where you been. I don't know how I feel about it. Comfort comes, And friends bring love. You know I wrap my arms around them. You made it so. Oh, can you tell me true, no matter what I do Did you always know the time? When you'd be the leaver, I'd be the left behind. Oh, you'd be the leaver. I'd be the left behind.
