The Mess You Left Behind

t's too late to be smart now I'm all out of clever things to say You're gone and I'm alone now I never meant for things to end this way But it seems you can't help it you keep on flirting 'til I can't see straight It ain't fair, but I guess you've gotta roll with the punches It's true, I can't get you off my mind It's you, and the mess you left behind Knocked down, I'm on the ropes now I never knew that love could hurt this bad My friends say, "You're better off now" But better off is still a little too sad But it seems, you can't help it you keep on going 'til it's just too late to back down, but I guess you gotta roll with the punches It's true, I can't get you off my mind It's you, and the mess you left behind It's sad, I keep waiting by the phone It's me, left here all alone I'm left here all alone It's too late to be smart now I'm all out of clever things to say It ain't fair, but I guess you've gotta roll with the punches It's true, I can't get you off my mind It's you, and the mess you left behind It's sad, I keep waiting by the phone It's me, left here all alone I'm left here all alone --- The mess you left behind - Oh Laura
