When you’ve been left behind

Your worldview becomes misaligned

Joy becomes harder to find

Like the darkened entrance of an abandoned mine,

Sitting alone drinking your wine

In an empty room biding your time

Funny how your fate turned on a dime

When you’ve been left behind,

What force can make mankind bend?

Surely it signals the end

Fences that you needed to mend

Hard to find true friends,

When you’ve been left behind

Your worldview becomes misaligned

Joy becomes harder to find

Like the darkened entrance of an abandoned mine,

Sitting alone drinking your wine

In an empty room biding your time

Funny how your fate turned on a dime

When you’ve been left behind,

What force can make mankind bend?

Surely it signals the end

Fences that you needed to mend

Hard to find true friends,

It seemed as though life wasn’t so unkind

You even noticed when the sun would shine

You gazed upon the world with an unclouded mind

Once you’ve been left behind,

Once you had a valentine

A wedding ring that appeared so divine

I was yours and you were mine

All before I was left behind,

Nothing is meant to last this is true

It seems all of our accomplishments fade from view

All debts become payable and due

All who never cared about what they put you through.
