The Girl I Left Behind Me [Alternate Take]

It's old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldn? t place and hung around
You always said that you must be free
Well you couldn? t see you were losing me
And messin' up the one good thing we had

And now I? m goin' out the same way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn? t win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I? ll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

I told myself that things would be okay
It come around to my way any day
As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you couldn? t change or be rearranged
I? m pickin' up the pieces of my life

And now I? m goin' out the same way that I came in
The game is over now, I couldn? t win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I? ll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me

As time went on you just stayed the same
No, you, you couldn? t change or be rearranged
I? m pickin' up the pieces of my life

And now I? m goin' out the same way. I came in
The game is over now, I couldn? t win
My heart is all I have to pack
And this time girl I won't be back
And years from now I? ll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
Behind me, behind me
