What You Left Behind

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

The road pulled you past my window

Your footsteps fading into night

Did my name cross your mind at all

When you turned your back on the light

Pre-Chorus

Now I trace the shape of your shadow

Down the hallway where you used to stand

I keep the ache inside my pocket

Where no one else can understand

Chorus

Can you see it

Can you see what you left behind

Broken quiet

And a heart that lost its time

Don't come back

Don't look back at me

I'm learning slow

How to be alone and free

Post-Chorus

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Verse 2

I hide the bleeding underneath my smile

Paint a calm across my face

Nobody asks the girl behind the glass

She wears her hurt like lace

Pre-Chorus

I learned to hold my own hands tight

To speak my name into the dark

Trust is just a borrowed promise

That shatters leaving scars

Chorus

Can you see it

Can you see what you left behind

Broken quiet

And a heart that lost its time

Don't come back

Don't look back at me

I'm learning slow

How to be alone and free

Bridge

Hurting on my own

Is softer than hurting with you

I choose the ache I know

Over the one I never knew

So walk your winding road

I'll stay where I can stand

Touching only what is mine

With nobody's hand

Chorus

Can you see it

Can you see what you left behind

Broken quiet

And a heart that lost its time

Don't come back

Don't look back at me

I'm learning slow

How to be alone and free

Outro

Mm

Alone and free

Mm-hmm
