(Verse 1)

There's a ring on the dresser, half a bottle of wine

Your perfume in the closet, still hangin' on the line

Coffee cup with your lipstick, still sittin' by the sink

Every corner of this house tells me what I can't think (Chorus)

Look what love left behind, pieces scattered 'round

Broken dreams and empty nights, echoes without sound

It promised forever, but forever ran dry

Look what love left behind — just questions and why (Verse 2)

The porch swing still creaks where we used to sit and talk

Now it sways in the wind like a lonesome lonesome walk

Your favorite record's scratchin' on the player by the bed

Playin' our old slow dances in my achin' head (Chorus)

Look what love left behind, ghosts in every room

Shadows dancin' on the walls beneath a harvest moon

It took the best years, left the rest to cry

Look what love left behind — and it's killin' me slow (Bridge)

I could pack it all away, try to start anew

But every time I try, it all comes back to you

The laughter and the fightin', the holdin' through the storm

Now it's just a pile of memories keepin' my heart warm (Verse 3 / Outro)

One day I'll find the strength to turn the key and go

Leave this house of hurtin', let the healin' show

But tonight I'm holdin' on to what we used to be

Look what love left behind... and it's still holdin' me (Final chorus repeat, steel guitar crying out, fade on last line)
