Songtext Only one Patty Smyth

Only one

It was a house it was a home it had a soul
In the space where we once lived
But like a ghost that doesn't know which way to go I'm all alone
Your memory haunts me like this
And I know you decided you needed a change
But there were other eyes watching, they were taking the blame
They want to know when you're coming back again
Tell me what to say

Cause I'm not the only one who lays awake
Who's waiting for your call
I'm not the only one who listens for
Your footsteps in the hall
No, you left us all

It was bad it was good it was life and it was true
Why did you give up the fightà
Cause you took more than one last look
When you walked out the door that night

And I'm not the only one who falls apart
Every time you don't call
I'm not the only one trying to act so big
When inside I feel so small
No, you left us all

And the dog stands by the door
But you're not coming home no more
And I feel I'm screaming
Cause your kids are in the den
Watching Family Guy again, and again, and again, and again

I'm not the only one who's been replaced
In the pictures on your wall
I'm not the only one you put her above
Forgot who you loved when she called

No, I'm not the only one who falls apart
Every time you don't call
I'm not the only one who listens for
Your foot stepped in the hall
You left us all
You left us all
You left us all
You left us all

Tell 'em it's not their fault
