17 Pounds

When you left me I lost 17 pounds
Didn’t adjust the car belt
Wishing I would die
When you left me I slept with 10 different guys
Didn’t use protection
Wishing I would die

And I tried drugs I’ve never had before
Always chasing in need of something more
I never missed, never wanted someone like you before
I cannot function or act like myself, oh that I’m sure

And I want you
To release me from me
Like the sadness in my eyes
Won’t you come back to me now?

When you left, I smoked 2 packs a day
Need to put myself together, oh my mamma said
When you left, I gave everything away
Please be more careful
Don’t fade away

And I tried drugs I’ve never had before
Always chasing in need of something more

And I want you
To release me from me
Like the sadness in my eyes
Won’t you come back to me now?
And I want you
To release me from me
Like the sadness in my eyes
Won’t you come back to me now?
