I left a lot of me down there
But I don't think the hole is any bigger
I just need something more
To take up the vacant inner space

I left a lot of me down there
And what I carried back evaporated
Quickly, quietly, put me back
Into the same place I was before

I left a lot of me down there
Brought back someone else's sadness
Brought back frustation
Brought back some doubt

I left a lot of me down there
Refocused some pain, freed the tears
But the pictures still look like me
Maybe even worse

I left a lot of me down there
Wish I could have left more
Don't think next time will be different
Not sure I'll ever want to know.
