Lyrics

Your only key to my front door
A bracelet in the kitchen drawer
An old love letter never sent
A Polaroid from way back when
The lipstick that you used to write
Goodbye on the mirror last night
That watch that never could tell time
These are some of the things you left behind
A biker jacket, a schoolgirl skirt
A cut off Waylon Jennings shirt
Prescriptions for some pills you took
A dog-eared Henry Miller book
Where you'd underlined the dirty parts
Sunglasses in the shape of hearts
A Del-Lords record that used to be mine
These are some of the things you left behind
CHORUS
Each item tells the same sad story
of what was, in its faded glory
What a heartbreaking inventory
To see
You swore you weren't the leaving kind
But of all the items that I find
The saddest thing you left behind
Was me
A plastic bag of trucker speed
A business card you'd call for weed
A collar for your goddamn cat
Where you ever gonna find a home for that?
Your second favorite cowgirl boots
Some hair dye to conceal your roots
That lighter you could never find
These are some of the things you left behind
CHORUS
You once held these things in your hands
The same way that you held your man
To have and hold forever just
Was never meant to be
When you walked out you stole my dreams
And a future I'll now never see
Now the saddest thing you left behind
Was me
Yes the saddest thing you left behind
Was me
