Song Description
This song was inspired during a therapy session. My other job is as a psychologist and during the session a very distraught young man said "her heart is my home". I carried that line with me till it came out in this song.

Lyrics
SHE LEFT
words a music by Stephen P. Amos
She said she needed some distance,
A little time apart,
And she said my resistance,
Was only breaking her heart,
I said take what you need,
But I won?t watch you leave,
And when I returned the lesson I learned,
Was what she left when she left me,
CHORUS
She left the washer and the TV set,
She left the dresser and the empty bed,
She left me everything I never said,
But always wished I had,
She left me all of this loneliness,
She left me four walls and my regrets,
She left me here trying to guess,
All the reasons she left.
She took away her blue eyes,
And left me here alone,
Too late now I realize,
Her heart was my home,
I can care for this house,
I can care for the lawn,
But when I open the door it?s hard to ignore,
The only thing I loved is gone,
CHORUS
And it?s hard to believe that she?d really leave and maybe she ain?t coming back,
After all of these years the blood, sweat and tears she could walk away and say that?s that,
CHORUS
