You abandoned me Love don't live here any more Just look back and see Love don't live here any more When you lived inside of me There was nothing in the world you wouldn't do for me Trouble seemed so far away, then you changed and went away And you abandoned me Love don't live here any more Just look back and see that Love don't live here any more Any more Love don't live here any more Just emptiness and memories of what we had before Why'd you have to go away, find another place to stay? You abandoned me Love don't live here any more Just look back and see Love don't live here any more Yeah Through the windows in my eyes everyone can see the loneliness inside of me Don't you know I need you so, why did you have to go? And abandon me Love don't live here any more Just look back and see that Love don't live here any more Yeah, don't live here any more Love don't live here Don't live here any more Any more You went away and left me Now, love don't live here any more Any more Love don't live here any more
