Some Things Get Left Behind Lyrics by Angie

Some Things Get Left Behind

I twisted my hair
Round my finger and stared
At the memory I took out on loan
Although I tried
All the songs that I write
Can't describe the things only we know

I spent awhile
Getting lost in your smile
In a sea of the boats that you made
And just as my head
Longed for a place to rest
You moved your shoulder away

And you are not mine
And I am not yours
And there's no happy
Ever after no more
And I am not yours
And you are not mine
And we can't go back
Some things get left behind

With reckless abandon
I paid the king's ransom
And trusted a Gemini lie
And it's safe to say
Now and never again
Will you be the one to make me cry

And you secretly
Keep a picture of me
In a book in a box that you hide
And you take it out
When your new girl's not round
And it's torn and it's faded with time

And you are not mine
And I am not yours
And there's no happy
Ever after no more
And I am not yours
And you are not mine
And we can't go back
Some things get left behind

I couldn't believe
This could happen to me
Cause I knew that what we had was different
I waited there
To wake from my nightmare
But if morning came I guess I missed it

And you are not mine
And I am not yours
And there's no happy
Ever after no more
And I am not yours
And you are not mine
And we can't go back
Some things get left behind
