Lyrics

"Left Behind"

Music/Lyrics by JK Wilson

Verse
Every day after coffee, clock hits nine, and she knows it's time
Gathers up her coat and her keys and the feelings, building up inside

Picks a flower or two from the front yard
Starts to make the drive
These are things that we do when we're the ones that are left behind

[Chorus
Left behind, left behind
Always wondering why there wasn't more time
Some days it feels like they're gone so long
Other days like they're right by our side
Wherever they are, we just want them to know
It's not them but us that's left behind

Verse
Standing there, talking to a name on a stone, makes her feel alone
Thank God for her faith, or she'd think her mind was going
People who don't believe don't understand what to her is real
They're still alive each time we remember the way they made us feel

Chorus
Left behind, left behind
Always wondering why there wasn't more time
Some days it feels like they're gone so long
Other days like they're right by our side
Wherever they are, we just want them to know
It's not them but us that's left behind

Bridge
In the quiet nights, she whispers their names
Feels the warmth of memories that always remain
With every tear that falls, she knows they are near
Their love's a melody that she still hears clear

Verse
Driving home with thoughts of laughter, words that were shared
Every moment cherished, every heart laid bare
She smiles through the sorrow, holds on to the light
In the depth of her heart, they're never out of sight

Chorus
Left behind, left behind
Always wondering why there wasn't more time
Some days it feels like they're gone so long
Other days like they're right by our side
Wherever they are, we just want them to know
It's not them but us that's left behind
