Well, You Left Lyrics

Well, you left
You had to move on
You finally gave it a rest
You said you had to be strong
You bled all you could bleed
You didn't get what you need
So tell the mutual friends
You went and walked out on me

And now the weather gets cold
But you can finally breathe
Seems some things are going perfect
The usual make-believe

I heard you found a new friend
Someone else to hang on to
I hope he holds your hand
I heard he's nice to talk to
But if the weather gets bad
And you feel yourself fall for him
I'll try not to feel satisfied
I'll try and do what healthy people do

I wish the best for you

These are the days
They remember you by
But it's not what you say
But how I say it
Did you hear about Scott?
Did you hear that he's gone?
He drowned right off the rocks
Sometimes the currents' too strong
And he had friends with influence
And he had friends with influence
And he had friends with influence
And he had friends, yeah they knew him

You can see me there
At the top of the stairs
You'll say I'll repay our mutual respect, yeah
I guess they're peers

I finally found a way to block the sun
It's not for everyone

These are the products of your parents
That grew up
Sun, we need sun
In the sun
In the sun

So on
So on
So on
So on
You want the last one
It's tripping mind up here
They don't care
What we do
Yeah, we do

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
