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



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 out of 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



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
