When You Left - Melissa Ferrick

I never asked for answer

Only a fair shot

At what I thought was expected

From the heart

Yeah you told me you had one

Do you remember that

And you told me that I was worth it Was it easy to forget that

'Cause I don’t forget anything

'N it scares me half to death

I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used

Baby when you left

When you left

You left me half full

Half full of emptiness

All bothered and bloodshot

Putting my hand to my head

And you smelled like denial

And my beer tasted like chalk

But I could hear the sound of your footsteps

Like a ticking pocket watch

'Cause I don’t forget anything

'N it scares me half to death

I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used

Baby when you left

When you left

And you know that I never asked for love only a friend

'N what I got was some kind of twisted figure of myself again

'N I know that they say you should see yourself in your lover’s eyes

But I can see my soul baby

And it makes me want to die

So now is not the time

To ask me to play

'Cause I can’t seem to hold on To any given day

So please just let me stand here

And sing this song

'Cause it’s the only thing you ever gave me And without it I would drown

'Cause I don’t forget anything

'N it scares me half to death

I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used Baby when you left

When you left

When you left
