You Left Me

Ice on the steps

Snow on the porch

Walking into an empty house I suppose it could be worse

I am not lonely

I never lie

I don’t ask questions

I don’t ask why

You left me

Threw the car in reverse

You wanted me

When I wasn’t yours

But when you got me you realized

You wanted her.

         I felt guilty when we dated

         You were already loved

         But that smile I didn’t, fake it

         You calmed my blood

         My ears they rung

         From the praises you sung

         But you’re gone now

         And I’m still young

You left me

Threw the car in reverse

You wanted me

When I wasn’t yours

But when you got me I realized

You can’t get worse.

         You’re broke.

         Can’t hold a job

         You don’t clean

         Can’t handle a mop

         You’re pathetic and a loser

         You’re a drunkard and a boozer

         I don’t miss you

         I don’t have to

         You’re not the first

You left me

Threw the car in reverse

You wanted me

When I wasn’t yours

But when you got me you realized

You wanted her.
