[Verse 1]
Your boots left mud by the door
Then your shadow slipped through
The chair still faces the wall
Like it knew what you'd do
I kept your cup by the sink
Now it gathers dust
I call your name at the screen
It just goes dead and rusts
[Pre-Chorus]
And the hall gets long
When you don't come home
Every room says stay
But it says it alone
[Chorus]
You left me here
You left me here
With the paint gone dry
And the phone gone dead
You left me here
You left me here
(Left me here)
In this hollow bed
[Verse 2]
The coat on the hook still hangs
Like a body with no skin
I fed the cat at your time
Like you'd walk back in
The fridge light cuts through the dark
Like a cheap white lie
I heard your laugh in the pipes
Then it broke in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
And the hall gets long
When you don't come home
Every room says stay
But it says it alone
[Chorus]
You left me here
You left me here
With the paint gone dry
And the phone gone dead
You left me here
You left me here
(Left me here)
In this hollow bed
[Bridge]
I learned your shape by the doorframe
I learned your silence by sound
Now the house keeps your echo
And it drags me down
If you're gone for good
Just say it plain
Don't let me bleed
For a ghost with my name
[Final Chorus]
You left me here
You left me here
With the paint gone dry
And the phone gone dead
You left me here
You left me here
(Left me here)
In this hollow bed
[Outro]
The mud dried gray
On the welcome mat
I kept the light on
You never came back
