Left Behind

I sat in that empty room, imagining our honeymoon 
If only we'd have made it that far 
I replayed the thought over in my head 
How badly I craved you in my bed 
Your kiss, your touch, your presence. 

I play back all the times you'd say you loved me
How badly I wanted to hear it again 
They always walk out 
They never stay 
I end up alone, in bed, all day. 

I don't want to start over
I don't want to start new
I don't want to open up again 
It's so hard to feel used 
All I want is me and you. 

So I sit in this room full of my sorrow 
Hoping you come back to me
Today, tomorrow
Until then I leave you with this 
You have me until the very end 

Perhaps I am weak for hoping 
But perhaps I am strong too
There's a strength that comes from abandonment 
One that I'll never give to you
But one that has built me 
The me that loves you 
The me that will never leave, no matter how blue 

I'll stay in this place
Praying just to see your face 
Holding my breath for one last taste 
I don't want to wait-- but I will
In time you'll see, you're made for me.
