I Left Me There

[Verse 1]
He pulled over
On the side of the road

I had my phone out
Ready to go

Said I could call someone
Said I could leave

I almost did

⸻

[Verse 2]
He looked at me
Said he’d slow down

Said just get back on
We’ll turn around

And I knew better
I felt it then

But I got on again

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I told myself
It would be fine

Just get through this
Just give it time

⸻

[Chorus]

I left me there
I left me there

I felt it in my body
But I didn’t care

I left me there
I left me there

I knew better
But I went back anyway

⸻

[Verse 3]
Wind in my ears
Couldn’t hear my own voice

Hands on his jacket
Like I had no choice

Or that’s what I told myself
To make it make sense

⸻

[Chorus]

I left me there
I left me there

I felt it in my body
But I was too scared

I left me there
I left me there

I knew better
But I went back anyway

⸻

[Bridge]
There’s a moment it happens
You cross a line

Where you stay with yourself
Or leave it behind

And I felt it
I felt it then

⸻

[Final Chorus]

I left me there
I left me there

I don’t say it lightly
I know where

I left me there
I left me there

But I’m still learning
how to stay
