Left Myself Behind - (c) 2003 Vince Dickinson

I left early in the morning
Before the sun could light up her face
Didn't want to be stuck with that memory
It'd be impossible to erase

I left her my TV and stereo
I left her sleeping in the bed
I left a written explanation
I should have left myself instead
I should have left myself instead

CHORUS:
     Look in my rear view mirror
     I just can't make up my mind
     Keep driving on, 'til the pain is gone
     I should have left myself behind

[SOLO (2 bars)]

The city is shrinking behind me
But doubt is growing in my mind
The open road is my therapy
And all wounds heal over time
And all wounds heal over time

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE:
     I could never be the man that you want me to
     I could never be the father of your children
     I could never give you a three story house
     But I left you everything I had…

[SOLO (verse)]

I hope some day she'll forgive me
I wonder if it's too late
I could turn this car around right now
And head back up the interstate
And head back up the interstate

[CHORUS]
