The Girl I Left Behind Lyrics

You told me not to try and tie you down,
So I just took my place and hung around.
You always said that you must be free,
Well you couldn't see, you were losin' me
And messin' up the one good thing we had.

And I'm goin' out the same way I came in,
The game is over now, I couldn't win.
My heart is all I'll have to pack
For this time girl I won't be back,
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me.

I told myself that things would be OK
You'd come around to my way any day.
As time went on you just stayed the same
No you couldn't change or be re-arranged,
I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life.

And I'm goin' out the same way I came in,
The game is over now, I couldn't win.
My heart is all I'll have to pack
For this time girl I won't be back,
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me.

I'm pickin' up the pieces of my life,
And I'm goin' out the same way I came in,
The game is over now, I couldn't win.
My heart is all I'll have to pack
For this time girl I won't be back,
And years from now I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me.

You told me not to try and tie you down,
So I just took my place and hung around...
