From the recording Certain Shade Of Blue

Lyrics

VERSE
Life wasn’t perfect, but I was gettin’ by
I’d had some ups and downs but no tears to cry
Then, as though Heaven-sent, she came to me
It was great for a while, but it was not meant to be

CHORUS
I wish she could have left me like she found me
But I guess that’s just not how life goes
Wish I could erase her from my memory
But I can’t even figure out, oh, how to soften the blow
She left a permanent mark on my heart
Then as cool as could be she set herself free
I just wish she could have left me, oh, like she found me

VERSE
What is it about the way some people think
Only about themselves? Here today, gone in a blink
Clearly, she was just looking for a temporary fix
No matter the price to me; she just wanted her kicks

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
I’m not the kind of guy who treads on hearts
And I think it’s really sad when it happens

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
May she never have the need, as I, to move back in time
