You can take away my box of memories
Have the heart that beats inside of me
Keep the house we always called a home
Leave me here standing on my own

Take away my reasoning to smile
Watch me walk the long and lonely mile
Use the tinder part for show & tell
Don't forget to mention how it felt

Hopefully all of this will be enough
All I ask is that you leave behind my love

You can have back all the time that we both spent
Everyday and everything it meant
Give back all the thorns, toss out the rose
Turn the open sign around to closed

Keep the list of promises I made
In case you chance upon a raining day
Take away the look that made me smile
At the corner edge of the here and now

Hopefully all of this will be enough
All I ask is that you leave behind my love
