The Blues You Left Me

You left your coat beside the door. But you don't live here anymore. Your picture's fading on the wall. Still I remember it all. You took your love and walked away. Left me with the blues you gave. These are the blues you left me. The kind that follow through the night. You left me with an empty chair. And memories I can't make right. I gave you everything I had. You left me With what made me sad. Now every lonely song reminds me. Of the blues you left me. That old guitar still knows your name. Every broken chord sounds the same. I pour one drink and sit alone. Listening to the midnight rain. I thought the years would make it fade. But some blues are never Made to change. These are the blues you left me. The kind that follow through the night. You left me with an empty Chair. And memories I Can't make right. I gave you everything I had. You left me with what made me Sad. Now every lonely song reminds me. Of the blues you left me. I don't hate you for walking away. I just wish you'd stayed another day. Some loves leave without a sound. But leave their blues lying all around. These are the blues you left me. Still ringing in this old guitar. I walked a thousand lonely roads. But never got Too far. You may have left this heart behind. But your memory stayed inside. And every night these old blues Tell me. About the love you left behind. You left me your goodbye. You left me your memory. And most of all, You left me the blues.
