With your note stuffed in my pocket A smile spread across my face I pretend it doesn't matter When I read that you won't stay I guess I could have left a light on Or stayed awake to see you home But good intentions go unnoticed And I fare better on my own I was struggling to walk a straight line When I met you months ago I thought by now that I'd be better At being loved and lettin' go But words can start to feel familiar When all I wanted was a change Still, I found a home within it And I loved you all the same ♪ I guess I could have lеft a light on Or warned you I was so unsure But still thе wind it blew you my way And it didn't matter anymore I let the silence come between us I let my pride take its place But I've still got your note for readin' When you're gone and on your way I guess I never had no patience For doin' things a different way I guess I could have left a light on With a smile upon my face
