Left Behind Lyrics

[Hook]
Sitting in the back of the car! Seeing you and her in the front seat
Every time I ask how far, what I really mean is why couldn't it be me?
I don't want to be left behind, I don't want to be left behind
I'm sick of always being the third wheel
I don't want to be left behind

[Verse 1]
Condensation on the window, a frost bitten heart
Driving down the road I'm in the back of the car
Looking at shit passing by, if only I were half the guy
That you always wanted. Would still have done it?
My soul lost control but I wasn't even driving
I wish we hit that pole, and I was the only one that died in a horrible accident
My own suicide, and then I snap back I'm along for the ride
I envisioned my own death
Figured that I hit it now
Dying all alone is how I figured I'd go out
It's not that I want to do it, it's useless to try to move it
It's just that I've got a clue
And it made me see how stupid all these thoughts really are
But I can't seem to shake 'em
When I see a happy couple, all I want to do is make the memories go away
I can take another day, I haven't been through enough pain
Why can't they just get slain?
[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Last girl to give me a chance completely fucked me over
And ever since then, I've been sitting on the sofa
Confused and grown colder
Hoping it blows over while I'm getting the cold shoulder
So I'm done, it's game over
No more I'm sick of it, no less than a hypocrite
Cuz it just repeats itself, never any different shit
Never any piff to spliff, never any hits to get
No more Mr. Nice Guy I'm fucking sick of it
I don't want to be left behind any more
I want to drive the car, push the pedal to the floor
So I'm ready for the tours, have my mental be explored
I'm ready for this world, all I need's a special girl
No one understands all the loneliness I feel
The pain from the wound is equally as real
It won't go away, if I swallow a few pills
I just need to sit back, hear the spinning of the wheels

[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
