You Left Me With Me - JU.LI

[Verse 1] You said you had to go Like leaving was the easy part You packed your things, you closed the door And left me holding every scar I watched you disappear I watched you choose a life without me And somehow in the silence I became the one I couldn't leave [Pre-Chorus] Now every mirror knows your name Every shadow looks the same I hear your voice inside my head Saying everything I never said [Chorus] You left me with me And God, I hate who I've become You took the best of everything And left me with what you'd done You left me with me With every doubt you planted deep You got to walk away and breathe While I was drowning underneath You left me with me And I don't know what's worse That you abandoned me Or that I believed I deserved it first [Verse 2] I still set the table for two Like some pathetic fool Still turn around to tell you things Then remember you don't want to hear them anymore I hate the way I miss you I hate the way I need you I hate that part of me still hopes You'll come back and say you never meant to leave [Pre-Chorus] So I tear apart my photographs Just to prove the past is dead But every piece I throw away Still somehow lives inside my head [Chorus] You left me with me And God, I hate who I've become You took the best of everything And left me with what you'd done You left me with me With every doubt you planted deep You got to walk away and breathe While I was drowning underneath You left me with me And I don't know what's worse That you abandoned me Or that I believed I deserved it first [Bridge – quiet, theatrical] Maybe I was too much Maybe I wasn't enough Maybe I asked for forever When you only wanted us Maybe I was broken Before you ever came Maybe you didn't destroy me Maybe you only gave my pain a name [Build] But don't you dare say That I was nothing Don't you dare say I wasn't worth the fight You don't get to leave And take my worth with you You don't get to turn my darkness Into proof that you were right [FINAL CHORUS – huge] YOU LEFT ME WITH ME! But I'm still standing here! You took your love away But you don't get to take my years! YOU LEFT ME WITH ME! With all the pieces on the floor And maybe I hate what I became But I don't hate myself anymore! You left me with me You thought that was my end But I'm learning how to breathe again Without needing you to hold my hand You left me with me... And maybe that's the cruelest thing you ever did Because now I have to learn How to love the girl You left behind. [Outro – soft] You left me with me... But I'm still here.
