She took the TV and the toaster

She took the curtains and the car

I guess she took for granted

I wouldn't take it very hard

And for someone in a hurry

She took her own sweet time

But it's not what she took that hurt

It's what she left behind



CHORUS:



A bedroom full of memories

That time cannot erase

Photographs of the two of us

That she said, "Throw away"

She took my heart and soul

And left me here to lose my mind

No, it's not what she took that hurt

It's what she left behind





She said, "I've given you my best

But I can't take no more"

She said, "I've run outa reasons"

Then she walked out the door

It's gonna take a lot of doin'

To get over her goodbye

Cuz it's not what she took that hurt

It's what she left behind



(Repeat chorus)



She took my heart and soul

And left me here to lose my mind

No, it's not what she took that hurt

It's what she left behind
