(Verse 1)
Yeah, I left her in the night, didn’t say goodbye,
Thought I’d find myself, but I just let it slide,
Memories haunt me, every now and then,
Wonder if she’s happy or still thinking of when.
(Chorus)
I left a girl, oh, now I realize,
All the times we had, I can’t disguise,
Heartbreak’s a lesson, but it cut so deep,
Thought I found freedom, but now I just weep.
(Verse 2)
Late night conversations, laughter and tears,
Now I’m just alone, drowning in fears,
Told myself I needed space to breathe,
But I see her smiling and it’s hard to believe.
(Chorus)
I left a girl, oh, now I realize,
All the times we had, I can’t disguise,
Heartbreak’s a lesson, but it cut so deep,
Thought I found freedom, but now I just weep.
(Bridge)
Maybe I was wrong, maybe it’s too late,
Regretting my decisions, it’s a heavy weight,
Life moves on, but I’m stuck in the past,
Trying to find the pieces that I thought wouldn’t last.
(Outro)
So I left a girl, painted memories in my mind,
Searching for closure, but I’m running out of time,
Gotta find my way back to who I used to be,
But leaving her behind still haunts me.
