+ Show full styles

[Intro - soft Hammond organ, choir humming low] [Verse 1] Your side of the bed is cold now The hallway still remembers your shoes You didn't take the picture off the wall You just took the part of me that knew I keep your coffee cup in the sink Like you might walk back through that door But morning keeps arriving empty And you don't live here anymore [Chorus] Why did you leave Why did you leave me Was I too much Or not enough to keep Why did you leave Don't make me guess it If love was real Then why'd you let it sleep [Verse 2] You used to say my name like prayer Now it don't even leave your mouth I call and it just rings and rings Then silence does the talking now They tell me time will do the healing But time just sits here next to me I don't need another morning I need you to tell me why you leave [Choir] Why did you leave… why did you leave me… [Bridge] I would have fought the whole damn world I would have stayed through any storm But you didn't give me something You just left me holding on If you found a quieter kind of love At least look me in the eye Don't vanish like I never held you Don't leave the question when you fly [Chorus - bigger, choir swelling] Why did you leave Why did you leave me Was I too much Or not enough to keep Why did you leave Don't make me guess it If love was real Then why'd you let it sleep [Outro - organ and choir fading] Why did you leave… Why did you leave me… Just tell me why… Then go if you need…
