It's dark but I can see
I listen to everything
something echoes in the emptiness beside me
Where you once stood by my side
So I listen
To the cars and crickets
And the voices that aren't really there
Please forgive me I really tried
Im really tired

And so I was the one who was left behind
But neither of us are to blame
And even if you only left
Because you couldn't stay
That's okay

And now i’m afraid of forgetting you
But you can never forget someone who gave you so much
I guess what they say it's true
You never know what you have until it’s gone
I don't want to let you go
I don't want to move on
I just want to pretend
Your not gone

And so I was the one who was left behind
But neither of us are to blame
And even if you only left
Because you couldn't stay
That's okay

And so I was the one who was left behind
And i know your not to blame
I know that you had to leave
But i needed you to stay
And it's not okay
