Where You Left Me

They always come back But the timing is always wrong Black tuxedo Shadows in the back room Still smell the memory of your perfume Pouring out the last of the regrets Trying to forgive but I don't forget You thought the grass was greener on the other side Traded out a diamond for a rougher ride Now you're sending texts at a quarter to three Looking for the ghost of how we used to be But the VIP is empty and the lights are low You're searching for a feeling that you used to know You want the forgiveness You want the grace But you're just staring at a stranger's face Good luck trying to find a heart that beats like mine Someone who cares when you cross the line Good luck finding hands that understand the dark Someone who stays when you miss the mark And when the realization finally hits your soul That there's nobody else who can make you whole Look around the room Let the shadows be Cause I won't be where you left me No I won't be sitting by the telephone I learned to find the peace in being all alone You took the loyalty and threw it in the fire Now you're burning up in your own desire I elevated Separated from the past You wanted something cheap I was built to last So keep searching through the crowd for a replica But you're never gonna find another formula Yeah The VIP is empty and the lights are low You're searching for a feeling that you used to know You want the forgiveness You want the grace But you're just staring at an empty space Good luck trying to find a heart that beats like mine Someone who cares when you cross the line Good luck finding hands that understand the dark Someone who stays when you miss the mark And when the realization finally hits your soul That there's nobody else who can make you whole Look around the room Let the shadows be Cause I won't be where you left me Where you left me Good luck I won't be there
