Lyrics:
I thought I left you
What part of we can’t make it, don’t you understand?
It’s no longer you and me, there’s another world we’ll see
I thought I left you, so why aren’t you leaving me
I thought I left you
What part of “it’s all over” don’t you understand?
You fell out of love with me so I moved on quietly
I thought I left you, so what aren’t you leaving me?
You’re like the measles, you’re like the whooping cough
I’ve already had you, so why in heaven’s name can’t you just get lost?
I thought I left you
So don’t you think it’s time you’re leaving me
I thought I left you
So don’t you think it’s time you let me leave
The bus is leaving, it’s already left the parking lot
And I checked the list to see if you were on it
Searched around and thankfully you’re not
I thought I left you
Don’t you think it’s time you’re leaving me
I thought I left you
Don’t you think it’s time you let me be
