You Left Me With No Choice

from Songs to Get You From Here to There by Wes Weddell

/

lyrics

Two feet hit the carpet in the morning
Two lazy eyelids stretch to reach the sky
Two eggs over-easy with my coffee
And one more lonely day begins on time
Sometimes I can’t figure how I make it
Sometimes I can’t figure why I don’t
My heart still beats your number every evening
When it crawls its way down from my throat

CHORUS
If you could hear me crying
Maybe you would feel remorse,
But it’s been months since you’ve heard
Anything resembling my voice
I may have been the one
Who walked on out the door
But you left me
When you left me with no choice

I used to gaze into your eyes and daydream
Lose myself inside them, big and brown
Now I try to picture you beside me
And find you only want to stare me down
I thought we’d be together till forever
Thought we’d even have a chance past then
Thought I’d found my perfect life’s companion
But I never thought I’d live to see the end

CHORUS

Two pillows lie beneath my head as I lie down
Two long sighs escape into the night
Two more days and I’ll be heading southward
And once again I’ll try to get things right
Sometimes I can’t figure how I make it
Sometimes I can’t figure why I don’t
My heart still beats your number every evening
When it crawls its way down from my throat

CHORUS
