Right Thing

Passed you on my way out to work today

You were looking out your window

At someone else

I had to stop to think, or was it to dream?

Either way all those feelings

Kept coming back to me

So tell me what I need to hear

Try to make it sound convincing to me

Chorus:

Was it the right thing to do?

To leave you standing there all alone

While I just sat there and stared at you

You know I never could bear

To see you crying

So tell me

It was the right thing to do

Tell me

It was right leaving you

Every now and then

I still stop by and see your friends

They all treat me like I'm still one of them

They buy me a drink

And we all smile and reminisce

It kinda' makes me wonder what coulda' shoulda' been

So show me what I need to see

Put on your best face for the Academy

Was it the right thing to do?

To leave you standing there all alone

While I just sat there and stared at you

You know I never could bear

To see you crying

So tell me

It was the right thing to do

Tell me

It was right leaving you

So will you never tell me?

How will I ever know?

Should I come, run, beggin' of you

Or should I leave it alone?

Alone

Was it the right thing to do

To leave you standing there all alone

While I just sat there and stared at you

You know I never could bear

To see you crying

So tell me

It was the right thing to do

Tell me

It was right leaving you.
