I know it wasn't easy for you babe 
Loving somebody so blue I know
 I wasn't ready for you, babe 
But what was I supposed to do?
 I thought I'd be taming these demons 
With you right by my side I thought
 I'd escape this self hatred
If you'd just be my guideLord knows I tried 
Thank you for leaving me when I was down 
Now I can pick myself up off the ground 
Now I can cry without you around 
Thank you for leaving me when I was down
I wish I could've known you better
 I wish we'd written that song
 I wish we could've grown old together 
My list of regrets goes on and on 
You say it was what it was and
I Nod and scratch my chin 
Can't shake these collisions of visions of 
What might have been making my head spin
Thank you for leaving me when I was down 
Now I can pick myself up off the ground 
Now I can cry without you around 
Thank you for leaving me when I was down 
Babe, can you hear me? 
'Cause I'm singing at the top of my lungs 
Babe, listen clearly
I know you still love me and 
I know you're the one 
Babe, though I love you dearly
 And it's been so long since
 I've seen the sun, seen the sun 
Babe, don't [bad word] near me 
'Cause I might not have the strength
 I'm not gonna have the strength [bad word] 
Thank you for leaving me when I was down 
Now I can pick myself up off the ground 
Now I can cry without you around
Thank you for leaving me when I was down
Thank you for leaving me when I was down
Now I can pick myself up off the ground 
Now I can cry without you around
Thank you for leaving me when I was down
