Joanie Loves Chachi - The Day You Left Lyrics

This make believe won't
Pacify the ever
Underlying
Pedestal you've perched so
High and awkward
If you could
Hold that pose for a while

With saving graces
Tell a brand new story
Book called love song
Harmony and perfect situations
Could've been the words that stood in the way

And on the day that you left
I kept my promise I said
You'll find it hard to believe
I put a hold in my head
Countless the days gone by
I needed you by my side

I've emptied my thoughts
Put them into focus
Streams don't follow
Straight enough to burn your bridges all up
Cover your intent with someone to blame

This was that last time
We could not escape our
Fate don't try now
Honestly we tried all
Things considered
Could've been the words that stood in the way

And on the day that you left
I kept my promise I said
You'll find it hard to believe
I've put a hold in my head
Countless the days gone by
I needed you by my side

And on the day that you left
I kept my promise I said
You'll find it hard to believe
I've put a hold in my head
Countless the days gone by
I needed you by my side
