Bottle of perfume left on the table By her side of the bed I spray a little in the air And outta nowhere, she's there Hair on fire in the middle of the night Just like that, she's lovin' me Just like yesterday and into the thin air She disappears again
Took her sandals, took her sundress Took her ten dollar sand dollar necklace She left a barefoot beach and a sunset And all the love we made that night Took some blame and some time for herself Pretty much left everything else It ain't what she took that messes with my mind It's what she left behind
Clothes she wore the night before Still layin' on the bathroom floor When I found her ring on the sink I died right there Where she said goodbye Have a bottle of wine, where she found the nerve A goodbye I never heard On a teardropped letter I didn't read But the worst thing she left was me
Took her sandals, took her sundress Took her ten dollar sand dollar necklace She left a barefoot beach and a sunset And all the love we made that night Took some blame and some time for herself Pretty much left everything else So it ain't what she took that messes with my mind No, it ain't what she took that messes with my mind It's what she left behind It's what she left behind What she left behind
