[Verse 1]
I was on the sidewalk as you walked away
I fell from your pocket as you made your escape
I was on the staircase as you ran for the train
Like the keys on the nightstand by a bed left unmade

[Chorus]
Like all the things that are left behind
Yeah, it hurts for a while but then you find
Some days it's just better to feel dead inside
Until that day you want to love again

[Verse 2]
I wanted to tell you, I could see all along
You pretending to forget while you're out on the town
So I sat in half knowing and I try to forget
The last time you wanted me and I lay in your bed

[Chorus]
Like all the things that are left behind
Yeah, it hurts for a while but then you find
Some days it's just better to feel dead inside
Until that day you want to love again

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
So it's the little things that cut us so deep
Some things can't be replaced, most just come and go
Do you remember when I was the one
Not tossed in a corner? Forgotten and gone?

[Chorus]
Like all the things that are left behind
Yeah, it hurts for a while but then you find
Some days it's just better to feel dead inside
Until that day you want to love again
Until that day you want to love again
You want to love again
