UP TO ME
Lyrics: Mark Courter
Music: Mark Courter/Woody Roberts

1.) It was up to you (backing vocals)
To live your own life
It was up to you
All you gave me was strife
It was up to you
To go your own way
But now it’s all up to me.

2.) It was up to you
To love me or not
It was up to you
How soon you forgot
It was up to you
To leave me one day
But now it’s all up to me.

Bridge:
I stayed right at home
I was a family man
Sure that you loved me
‘til you changed our plans
I took the cards you dealt me
And played out my hand
But there’s no more living
In a house of sand.

Instrumental verse

Bridge 2
You let me believe
That our love was still strong
Then suddenly
I found you were gone
Why did you leave me
You just told me “so long!”
I look for answers
But there are none



3.)It was up to you
To pick and to choose
It was up to you
To give me the blues
It was up to you
To leave me with no clues
But now it’s all up to me
