Patty Griffin
"You Don't Have Me"


I watched your window
I watched your shadow
I looked for another
But you'd already gone
I felt the wind blow
Cold on my shoulders
I felt your love go
Blowing out cold
We had the real thing
Up there in the moonlight
Didn't cost nothing
But each of our hearts
One day you stopped smiling
And singing those love songs
Then you decided
To make a new start

Love can be the sadness
That's living inside of a shadow
Decide that you want it
You pay with tomorrow
Decide you don't want it
And when you do, you let go
You don't have me
I don't have you
That's what they mean
By being through

I was just singing
Up in my room
When I caught myself thinking
About seeing you soon
But I know I have looked on
Your face for the last time
Part of the choices
That'll last for a life time

Love can be the sadness
That's living inside of a shadow
Decide that you want it
You pay with tomorrow
Decide you don't want it
And when you do, you let go
You don't have me
I don't have you
That's what they mean
By being through
