You Left It up to Me Songtext

von Indigo Girls

When I let you go I cursed myself with empty hands
Strong enough to watch you walk but not enough to understand
With spiteful eyes you burn for my grace
I was trying to stand outside you were trying to save face

You say that I don't care I don't care
You can hope that we still have something left to share
But just between you baby and me
Just between me baby and you
There's nothing there

I finally found someone I can hold
You ask me to defend myself as if I shouldn't be so bold
Well get that look off of your face
I don't have the time and you don't have the place

To say that I don't care I don't care
To hope that we still have something left to share
And just between me baby and you
Just between you baby and me
There's nothing there

Baby what are you gonna do
I can't salvage the truth for you
Everybody else already knows
It hurts you to realize so leave well enough alone
And you don't need my hands to help you understand
You don't need to hear my voice (you have no choice)
So don't be throwing stones
The closer we get the harder they come
Now even if you're feeling alone don't come home
Cause when it was up to you (when it was up to you)
You left it up to me
Oh you left it up to me
