The Mess You Left Behind (Alternate Version)

It's too late to be smart now

I'm all out of clever thing to say

You're gone and I'm alone now

I never meant for things to end this way

But it seems you can't help it

You keep on flirting till I can't see straight

It ain't fair but I guess you've gotta roll with the punches

It's true

I can't get you off my mind

It's you

And the mess you left behind

Knocked out I'm on the ropes now

I never knew that love could hurt this bad

My friends say you'd better off now

But better off is to little too sad

But it seems you can't help it

You keep going till it's just too late to

Back down But I guess you've got to roll with the punches

It's true

I can't get you off my mind

It's you

And the mess you left behind

It's sad

I keep breathing by the phone

It's me left here all alone

I'm left here all alone

It's too late to be smart now

I'm all out of clever thing to say

It ain't fair but I guess you gotta roll with the punches

It's true

I can't get you off my mind

It's you

And the mess you left behind

It's sad

I keep breathing by the phone

It's me left here all alone

I'm left here all alone
