The impression you left
On my yearning soul
All the memories you kept were all I've ever known
Regardless of me
A piece of you remains
Lingering inside my heart no matter how much it breaks
The worst part is that no matter how it ends
I receive the blame
When in truth it's nobody's fault
And when reality comes I'll only ever say
"Why wasn't I better?
More like you wanted me to be?"
When I should be thinking
"Why did you let me leave?"
Do you see me in the faces of strangers
That pass you by (pass you by)
Cause I've been seeing you in them
And I just don't know why (you left me behind)
Do you feel me in the empty spaces
That you pass by (you pass by)
Cause I've been wondering if I ever cross your mind
(Like you cross mine)
It's the unfinished business we have
At least in my mind, there's no going back
It's how every time something new came
You'd disappear, kill the spark and extinguish the flame
Your cold indifference to my existence
Stings most when I think of how you used to be
I just wish that you could see
I know you'll deny this tooth and claw
But you changed for the worse
Why didn't you say anything?
Why did you let me leave?
Do you see me in the faces of strangers
That pass you by (pass you by)
Cause I've been seeing you in them
And I just don't know why (you left me behind)
Do you feel me in the empty spaces
That you pass by (you pass by)
Cause I've been wondering if I ever cross your mind
(Like you cross mine)
