Until I Left You

When I was young I felt their eyes
Cut into my heart and take away my pride.
There you were to be my only friend.
I'd finally found someone it seemed on who I could depend.

But nothing seemed to go my way. Yeah
And good luck never seemed to stay
And I woke up hoping things would change every singe day,
But nothing seemed to go my way
Until I left you

As I grew into my life
The patterns deepened and the pain cut like a knife.
Still I had in you a faithful friend,
Someone who could be there for me time and time again.

(But) nothing seemed to go my way. Yeah
And good luck never seemed to stay
And I woke up hoping things would change every singe day,
But nothing seemed to go my way
Until I left you

And as the years that made me wise
Saw your true intent and much to my surprise.
Never would you be there in the end, no.
The clouds of laughter lifted from a life that's on the mend.

Theah nothing seemed to go my way. Yeah
And good luck never seemed to stay
And I woke up hoping things would change every singe day,
But nothing seemed to go my way
Until I left you
