They never painted a picture like this
In the stories I read back when I was a kid
L was for Lion or leopard or lamb
But girl with my heart in your hands
L is for leaving
For all of your lies
For stealing the light
From the stars
That you hung in my sky
For the liquor
That lulls me to sleep
L ain't for Lisa or love
It's for lonely
And watching you leave
I knew his name girl, while you still denied
Cause my friends ran the plates of that truck in our drive
Did he have his way in a bed that was mine?
See I went through hell just to find
L is for leaving
For all of your lies
For stealing the light
From the stars
That you hung in my sky
For the liquor
That lulls me to sleep
L ain't for Lisa or love
It's for lonely
And watching you leave
L is for losing
The love of my life
For leading me on and changing your mind
L is for leaving
For all of your lies
For stealing the light from the stars that you hung in my sky
It's for the liquor
That lulls me to sleep
L ain't for Lisa or love
It's for lonely
And watching you leave
