The Way She Left

from Fences by The Altogether

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
