 Whoops 😬 

Right here where you left me (rewrite-) 

Reimagined as a duet with different views 

Friends break up, friends get married
   Fiends hook up, feels are varied 
Strangers get born, strangers get buried
    New Friends are born, hard truths get buried
Trends change, rumors fly through new skies
    Winds change, RUMORS fly through BLUE skies 

But I'm right where you left me
     But I'm right where you left me

Matches burn after the other
TIMELINES 
        
Pages turn and stick to each other
CAGES Burn

 Wages earned and lessons learned

But I, I'm right where you left me
Help, I'm still at our restaurant
Still sitting in a corner I haunt
Cross-legged in the dim light
They say, "What a sad sight"
I, I swear you could hear a hair pin drop
Right when I felt the moment stop
      Soul tie knot 
Glass shattered on the white cloth
Everybody moved on
I, I stayed there
Dust collected on my pinned-up hair

They expected me to find somewhere

Some perspective, but I sat and stared

Right where you left me

You left me no, oh, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever

You left me, you left me no, oh, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever


Did you ever hear about the girl who got frozen?

Time went on for everybody else, she won't know it

She's still 23 inside her fantasy

How it was supposed to be

Did you hear about the girl who lives in delusion?

Break-ups happen every day, you don't have to lose it

She's still 23 inside her fantasy

And you're sitting in front of me

At the restaurant, when I was still the one you want

Cross-legged in the dim light, everything was just right

I, I could feel the mascara run

You told me that you met someone

Glass shattered on the white cloth

Everybody moved on

Help, I'm still at the restaurant

Still sitting in a corner I haunt

Cross-legged in the dim light

They say, "What a sad sight"

I, I stayed there

Dust collected on my pinned-up hair

I'm sure that you got a wife out there

Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware
'Cause I'm right where
I cause no harm, mind my business
If our love died young, I can't bear witness
And it's been so long
But if you ever think you got it wrong
I'm right where you left me

You left me no, oh, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever
You left me

You left me no, oh, you left me no

You left me no choice but to stay here forever
