The Mess You Left Behind
It's too late to be smart now
I'm all out of clever things to say
You're gone and I'm alone now
I never meant for things to end this way
But it seems you can't help it
You keep on flirting 'til I can't see straight
It ain't fair, but I guess you've gotta roll with the punches
It's true, I can't get you off my mind
It's you, and the mess you left behind
Knocked down, I'm on the ropes now
I never knew that love could hurt this bad
My friends say, "You're better off now"
But better off is still a little too sad
But it seems, you can't help it
You keep on going 'til it's just too late to
Back down, but I guess you gotta roll with the punches
It's true, I can't get you off my mind
It's you, and the mess you left behind
It's sad, I keep waiting by the phone
It's me, left here all alone
I'm left here all alone
It's too late to be smart now
I'm all out of clever things to say
It ain't fair, but I guess you've gotta roll with the punches
It's true, I can't get you off my mind
It's you, and the mess you left behind
It's sad, I keep waiting by the phone
It's me, left here all alone
I'm left here all alone
