Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I came home late again last night
The porch light off, no kiss goodnight
Her suitcase gone, no goodbye note
Just a single tear on my old coat

I poured a drink and sat real still
The silence louder than the whippoorwill
Her perfume lingered in the air
Like she was still somehow... still there

(Chorus)
She took the heart, I took the blame
She walked away, I stayed the same
I never learned, I never changed
Kept lovin' wild and drinkin' pain
She begged for more, I gave her less
Now I'm alone with this regret
She took the heart, I took the shame
Now all I hold... is me to blame

(Verse 2)
I used to laugh at good advice
Thought love would wait, not roll the dice
But hearts get tired and dreams wear thin
And I just pushed, and pushed again

The mirror shows an older man
With nothin' left but shaky hands
And every line upon my face
Sings harmony with my disgrace

(Chorus)
She took the heart, I took the blame
She walked away, I stayed the same
I never learned, I never changed
Kept lovin' wild and drinkin' pain
She begged for more, I gave her less
Now I'm alone with this regret
She took the heart, I took the shame
Now all I hold... is me to blame

(Bridge - Spoken softly)
They say a good woman don't leave without a fight...
Well, she fought like hell.
And I just let her go.

(Final Chorus)
She took the heart, I took the fall
She gave her best, I gave it all...
To pride, to pain, to foolish pride
Now I just drink and try to hide
She's gone, and I can't change a thing
Except the way this sorrow sings...
She took the heart, I took the blame
And I'll carry it... like a Jones name
