Things You Left Behind

These are the things you left behind
An old record player, half a bottle of wine
Some pictures of days gone by to remind
Of the joy in your smile
Oh, I'll be fine, just need some time
If you're ever around, would you please give me a sign
And I'll look after your things like they were mine
All of the things you left behind

Picking up the pieces of an impossible puzzle
Sealed all the secrets, the signs were so subtle
Maybe you were too shy or your pride was too high
Or you'd lie and deny to try and hide all your trouble
Now only questions remain with no easy answers
[?] the pain, the harm you hear after
The pressure and the strain every day you had to sustain
Maybe made you feel in a way there were no second chances

I wish you would have opened up
Opened up just enough
Just enough to see how much
How much you were truly loved

I wish you would have opened up
Opened up just enough
Just enough to see how much
You were truly loved

These are the things you left behind
An old record player, half a bottle of wine
Some pictures of days gone by to remind
Of the joy in your smile
Oh, I'll be fine, just need some time
If you're ever around, would you please give me a sign
And I'll look after your things like they were mine
All of the things you left behind

I still hear an echo of your voice in your laughter
And I do still remember the moments you captured
Flame you spark lit up the dark and burned brighter and faster
The story ain't over, we've just closed the chapter
Now forever after the whole world is inspired
A billion little candles with light from your fire
Shining like the stars where you're up
I hope that you can see now how much you were loved

These are the things you left behind
An old record player, half a bottle of wine
Some pictures of days gone by to remind
Of the joy in your smile
Oh, I'll be fine, just need some time
If you're ever around, would you please give me a sign
And I'll look after your things like they were mine
All of the things you left behind
All of the things you left behind
All of the things you left behind
So many things, so many things, so many things you left behind
I'm one of the things you left behind
