Love Left
When You Love Too Late…
I wrote this song about 8 months ago now and haven’t performed it live yet so I wanted to share it here. This is an acoustic version with just me and my keyboard and some backing vocals thrown in for funsies.
It’s a story about rejecting love because you’ve been burned in the past so you keep pushing away the one person who truly loves you, then once they finally get fed up and leave you discover you love them too… but all too late.

Love Left (Lyrics)
VERSE 1
Love left letters, Love left time
Love left a thousand roses scattered round and poems laced with wine
Love left footsteps, up to my door
And all the days it watched my door stay shut, love left a thousand more
PRE CHORUS
I built the walls around my heart to shut out all the pain
I tried my hand at love before and ended up this way
But only when you turn away to leave the door you knew
I know I’ll never find again the way I feel with you
CHORUS
I have love left, as long as you stay
Love left, before you close the door and leave, give me a second chance to tell you I have
Love left, Just don’t walk away
VERSE 2
Love left teardrops, love left rain
Love left a thousand diamonds falling down with endings all the same
But when love left, and tried again
You showed up at my door, I didn’t let the right love in
PRE CHORUS
I keep the walls around my heart to turn away the pain
I‘ve spun the wheel of love before and ended up the same
But only when you turn away and say that we are through
I know I’ll never find again the way I feel with you[spacer height=”20px”]
CHORUS
I have love left, as long as you stay
I have love left,
before you close the door and leave give me a second chance, to tell you I have
Love left, just don’t walk away
BRIDGE
All the time I thought was unending
And all the years that I spent unbending
I know that I will soon be ascending
From all the darkness I’ve been in, and
As you turned the sky was crying
A thousand knives in my life, burning
And all the while, I’ve just been trying
To feel the way I feel with you[spacer height=”20px”]
CHORUS
I have love left, as long as you stay
I have love left,
before you close the door and leave give me a second chance, to tell you I have
Love left, just don’t walk away…..
