Verse 1
You packed your life in a couple of bags
Said “I’ll be fine,” like it wouldn’t hit back
Promised me calls, promised me time
Now I just stare at three dots that never arrive
Your side of town feels like a crime scene
Everything’s you but you’re not with me
I walk past places we used to go
Now it’s just memories putting on a show
Pre-Chorus
You said distance wouldn’t change a thing
So why’s it feel like you changed everything?
Chorus
You left me here in the same damn place
While you’re out chasing a brand new taste
Different state, yeah you got your escape
I’m stuck with the mess that you didn’t take
I miss you, yeah, but I’m pissed off too
‘Cause I needed you like you needed me to
Now I’m talking to ghosts in my phone
You moved away and left me alone
Verse 2
I see your stories, yeah you look fine
New friends, new life, new version of “I’m alright”
Guess I was part of the old you then
The one you outgrew when you packed your friends
You don’t call like you used to do
I guess I’m not your “go-to”
Funny how quick I became a past
While I’m still here tryna make us last
Pre-Chorus
You said “nothing’s ever gonna break us apart”
Guess miles hit harder than a broken heart
Chorus
You left me here in the same damn place
While you’re out chasing a brand new taste
Different state, yeah you got your escape
I’m stuck with the mess that you didn’t take
I miss you, yeah, but I’m pissed off too
‘Cause I needed you like you needed me to
Now I’m talking to ghosts in my phone
You moved away and left me alone
Bridge
And I hate that I still wanna call you
Like nothing changed, like I don’t see through
All the silence, all the space
All the ways you got replaced
But nobody laughs like you did back then
And I’d still pick you over all of them
Final Chorus
You left me here in the same damn place
While you’re out chasing a brand new taste
Different state, but I feel erased
Like I’m just something you outgrew and replaced
I miss you more than I wanna admit
Even when I’m talking all this shit
Yeah, I’m learning how to be alone
But I wish you never left home
Outro
Yeah… I wish you never left me here.
