"What She Left Behind" lyrics

"What She Left Behind"

She took the TV and the toaster
She took the curtains and the car
I guess she took for granted
I wouldn't take it very hard
And for someone in a hurry
She took her own sweet time
But it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

A bedroom full of memories
That time cannot erase
Photographs of the two of us
That she said, "Throw away."
She took my heart and soul
And left me here to lose my mind
No, it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

She said I've given you my best
But I can't take no more
She said I've run out of reasons
Then she walked out the door
It's gonna take a lot of doing
To get over her goodbye
'Cause it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

A bedroom full of memories
That time cannot erase
Photographs of the two of us
That she said, "Throw away."
She took my heart and soul
And left me here to lose my mind
No, it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind

She took my heart and soul
And left me here to lose my mind
No, it's not what she took that hurt
It's what she left behind
