Used to care, used to share...
I lost my way, he said he'd stay, and lately I've been sleeping with a ghost!
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold.
That was before the great depression kicked in and rocked us.
And that was before the hurricane, came in and stopped us.  

I know sorries, just wouldn't do it. 
His heart is obliterated, I'm tryna' travel through,
But it's like moving mountains..
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change...
And the sky turns grey, and the water from the rain washes progress away. 

Why you just leave me? Just leave me be..

He don't touch me, I don't touch him. We ain't really never say a word.
I really want to give him everything he deserves.
But the bad take away the good.
He thinks that I'm full of it.. arguments, always pissed, man I'm tired..
Every kiss, that I missed, boy you know I'm trying!
You never believe when I say, and I never believe it when you say, I love you.
Cause we will never be the same
I've been standing in gas, and you have been the flames

Well baby why you just leave me?
Just leave me be, just leave me..
