Intro
When I let you go, I cursed myself with empty hands
Strong enough to watch you walk, but not enough to understand it
With spiteful eyes you burn for my grace
I was trying to stand outside of this, you were trying to save face
You can say that I don't care (I don't care)
You can hope that we still have something left to
share; But just between you, baby, and me
Just between me, baby, and you
There's nothing there
I finally found someone I can hold
You ask me to defend myself, as if I shouldn't be so bold
Well, get that look off of your face
I don't have the time, (I don't have the time) and you don't have the place
To say that I don't care (I don't care)
And hope that we still have something left to share
But just between me, baby, and you
Just between you, baby, and me
There's nothing there
[Instrumental, same chords as one verse]
Baby, what are you gonna do?
I can't salvage any truth from you
Everybody else already knows
It hurts you to realize, so leave well enough, enough alone
You don't need my hands to help you understand
You don't need to hear my voice (you have no choice)
So don't be throwing stones; the closer we get, the harder they come
Now, even if you're feeling alone, don't come home
'Cause when it was up to you (when it was up to you)
When it was up to you, you left it up to
me (me...) You left it up to
me, oh you left, oh you left it up to me
When it was up to you, you left it up to me
