Lyrics
What They Left Behind
by Tammy Jann and LJ Montgomery
© 2018
You're scraping away the walls of your mind
making their words harder to find
brighten your soul with a fresh coat of paint
add more layers to cover the shame
your ready now, work hard and see
you'll freshen up and set yourself free
chorus
they dropped their words
left the hurt
it's time to get rid of the dirt
open the door
sweep it away
its built up over time
They left a mark on your heart
scrub it down
you need a brand new start
you're ready to decide
to clean up and get rid of all the pain and the stains
of what they left behind
Push it to a corner that used to be bare
add lace and ruffles like it never was there
make some illusions with mirrors and stripes
pull back the curtains, let in the light
you get stronger, the more junk that you shed
but you'll always be checking the corners for webs
chorus
they dropped their words
left the hurt
it's time to get rid of the dirt
open the door
sweep it away
its built up over time
They left a mark on your heart
scrub it down
you need a brand new start
you're ready to decide
to clean up and get rid of all the pain and the stains
of what they left behind
outro
polish your world and make it shine
you never know what you will find
with what they left behind
