Something You Left Behind

I found something of yours you left behind: Something I did not expect to find. The sudden surge of memories Shocked me so hard I couldn't breathe— It almost knocked me to my knees. My whole world came undone. I found something of yours you left behind: Something that you wore when you were mine. You wore it with your wedding gown, Like a tiara or a crown. It turned my world all upside down. You always were “the one”. I found something of yours you left behind: Something that my love for you enshrined. I found it hidden from the light, That thing you used to wear at night. That came down when I held you tight, Back when we were one. I found something of yours you left behind, Something that I never wished to find— 'Cause there's no going back, you see, To times when you were here with me. You left a painful void in me; But still life must go on. I think of what you left behind And then it came to me: The saddest thing you left behind Turned out to be me. (Chorus ) I thought I'd gotten over you; But I was wrong, you see. You don't get over love that's true, Nor what was meant to be.
