lyrics

What she kept was a
fire escape of a love
A safety net you can
only reach from above not from the ground

And what she left wasn’t mine
What she left behind
was something you want but you don’t
but nothing I ever could own

What she kept somehow
silhouettes all the things it belies
Situations of obligations of
separations of miles

What she left wasn’t mine
What she left behind
was more than enough to get by
but just short of coming in time

She bought out all of the slums
just when I wasn’t looking
Ignores my history and sells to the gentry and
I’m displaced and lost

What she kept wasn’t
something built just for show
What she kept I would
long regret that I found and never would know

What she left wasn’t mine
What she left behind
is shocking but somehow well-known
It’s something you want but you don’t
And nothing I ever could own
