Right Thing



Passed you on my way out to work today

You were looking out your window

At someone else

I had to stop to think, or was it to dream?

Either way all those feelings

Kept coming back to me



So tell me what I need to hear

Try to make it sound convincing to me



Chorus:

Was it the right thing to do?

To leave you standing there all alone

While I just sat there and stared at you

You know I never could bear

To see you crying

So tell me

It was the right thing to do

Tell me

It was right leaving you



Every now and then

I still stop by and see your friends

They all treat me like I'm still one of them

They buy me a drink

And we all smile and reminisce

It kinda' makes me wonder what coulda' shoulda' been



So show me what I need to see

Put on your best face for the Academy



Was it the right thing to do?

To leave you standing there all alone

While I just sat there and stared at you

You know I never could bear

To see you crying

So tell me

It was the right thing to do

Tell me

It was right leaving you



So will you never tell me?

How will I ever know?

Should I come, run, beggin' of you

Or should I leave it alone?

Alone



Was it the right thing to do

To leave you standing there all alone

While I just sat there and stared at you

You know I never could bear

To see you crying

So tell me

It was the right thing to do

Tell me

It was right leaving you.
