When You Left Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

One, two, three, four

I never asked for answers, 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?

I don′t forget anything
It scares me half to death
I remember the color of the doorknob that you used
Baby, 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 remember the sound of your footsteps
Like a ticking pocket watch


And I don't forget anything
It scares me half to death
And I remember the color of the doorknob that you used
Baby, when you left

And you know that I never asked for love, only a friend
And what I got was some kind of twisted figure of myself again
And 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 wanna 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

I don't forget anything
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
