The Way She Left Lyrics

The way she left

She left us frozen with wide open faces

She left a swarm of cool friends in high places

And some would call it theft

The way she left

The way she left

She left us standing in a field with wet clothes

A campaign of seeds that no one else grows

Now everybody knows the meaning of bereft

I suppose it's in the way she left

So if you see me stumble down the road

Under the stars

Another break

I wonder how did all these lights go out

You're looking at a man

Who thought to take her hand

And run

Another blade the world persuaded

Not to pierce the doubt

I'm just like the rest of you

No worse than the best of you

The way she left

She left me scrubbing at these memories

She left a monster that spits locks and eats keys

It's madness or it's deft

The way she left

So if you see me stumble down the road

Under the stars

Another break

I wonder how did all these lights go out

You're looking at a man

Who thought to take her hand

And run

Another blade the world persuaded

Not to pierce the doubt

I'm just like the rest of you

No worse than the best of you

The way she left

It's black, white, or grey, but it's certainly blue

A certain feeling that maybe I should leave too

'Cause some would call it theft

The way she left
