Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
Sunday bells are ringing low
Somewhere else you hold her hand
I am half of two worlds
And now neither wants me back
Mama's kitchen still smells sweet
Papa's record spins alone
Every mirror shows a stranger
Every stranger walks on by
Pre-Chorus
You promised me forever
Forever came and went
You promised me a home
The home was never mine
Chorus
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
Now my life is over
And my song is done
You left me for her
Post-Chorus
Ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh)
Ah-ah
(Ah-ah)
Verse 2
Neighbors watch me from the windows
Whisper what they think they know
Said I wasn't quite enough
Said I wasn't quite the right shade
So you found a softer shoulder
Softer hair and softer light
Left me standing at the station
Watching trains I'll never ride
Pre-Chorus
You promised me the morning
Morning never came
You promised me a name
I never learned to say
Chorus
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
Now my life is over
And my song is done
You left me for her
Post-Chorus
Doo-doo-doo
(Doo-doo-doo)
Wah-oh-oh
(Wah-oh-oh)
Bridge
Carry me carry me slow
Lay the lilies on the stone
Carry me carry me low
Nobody here to bring me home
My mother cries my father sighs
The choir hums a hymn for me
Chorus
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
Now my life is over
And my song is done
You left me for her
Breakdown
Ahhh
(Ahhh)
Ohhh
(Ohhh)
Final Chorus
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
You left me for her
(Left me for her)
Now my life is over
My life is over
My life is o-o-o-ver
(Ohhh)
Belted Outro
Aaaahhhhhhhhh
(Aaaahhhhhhhhh)
