I know it wasn't easy for you babe
Loving somebody so blue
I know I wasn't ready for you, babe
But what was I supposed to do?
I thought I'd be taming these demons
With you right by my side
I thought I'd escape this self hatred
If you'd just be my guide
Lord knows I tried

Thank you for leaving me when I was down
Now I can pick myself up off the ground
Now I can cry without you around
Thank you for leaving me when I was down

I wish I could've known you better
I wish we'd written that song
I wish we could've grown old together
My list of regrets goes on and on
You say it was what it was and I
Nod and scratch my chin
Can't shake these collisions of visions of
What might have been
Making my head spin

Thank you for leaving me when I was down
Now I can pick myself up off the ground
Now I can cry without you around
Thank you for leaving me when I was down

Babe, can you hear me?
'Cause I'm singing at the top of my lungs
Babe, listen clearly
I know you still love me and I know you're the one
Babe, though I love you dearly
And it's been so long since I've seen the sun, the sun
Babe, don't you come near me
'Cause I might not have the strength
I'm not gonna have the strength to run

Thank you for leaving me when I was down
Now I can pick myself up off the ground
Now I can cry without you around
Thank you for leaving me when I was down
Thank you for leaving me when I was down
Now I know what your love was all about
Now you can fly without me around
Thank you for leaving me when I was down
