Lyrics

[Verse 1]I left the city just in time
To beat the traffic with my racing mind
When I look back I hope I find
My troubles are behind me

[Verse 2]Might be the coward's way I guess
To exit quickly to avoid the mess
But I'm too broken I confess
To worry what's behind me

[Chorus]And the mirror in my mind says she is closer than she seems
And that everything we had mattered so much more to me
When she sees that I am gone I think she'll mostly be relieved

[Verse 3]My destination is unknown
I only know that I needed just to go
And leave a love that gave me hope
A memory behind me

[Verse 4]I couldn't stay another day
And see the pity on her face
As she tried kindly to explain
That dream was now behind me

[Chorus]And the mirror in my mind says she is closer than she seems
And that images of love are not the images I need
Everything that I thought was that now I know will never be

[Verse 5]I left the city just in time
With one thing certain in my racing mind
The love I thought I'd never find
Is what I've left behind me

[Verse 6]And since these tears are in my eyes
Let me make clear the reason why
The shining light that filled my life
Is what I've left behind me
The one true light that filled my life
Is what I've left behind me
That's what I've left behind me
That's what I've left behind me
