when i left i didn't say goodbye

when i left i didn't even cry

it was a feeling unspoken

i hadn't left you broken


yes, unlike you i didn't cause pain

i slept easy with nothing to explain

your eyes didn't haunt me

my hands left you softly


you took and never gave

there was nothing to save

i had nothing left to say

i simply couldn't stay


when i left they complained

that i should be ashamed

like i owed you my life

yet now i live in blythe
