Amy Campbell - independent Canadian folk music - lyrics
Five In The Morning
I call hello... and it echoes.
The house is empty. And I've been emptied since you left.
You filled the better part of me. I even loved the things that I hated about you.
And I hate it about you, that it was so easy to go. Didn't you know.
And on that last night you came home... and it was five in the morning.
You took my hand. You led me to bed. You wrapped yourself around me
Said "put that thought right out of your head."
If only I had known that that was the last time.
With one hand you were holding, with the other letting go.
And I'm trying hard to hate you, but I just love you so bad.
And I'm trying hard to let go of the best I ever had.
And I'm trying to keep loving you while I'm hating what you've done.
And I'm trying to remember I am stronger as one.
Looking back I wonder is there anything I could have done.
Or was I never gonna be enough? Was I never gonna be the one?
Your performance was flawless. You nailed every line.
And I believed I was special. I believed you were mine.
Now I walk down the streets where you used to walk by my side.
And I hate it about you that it was so easy to fly... don't deny.
On that last night when you came home... and it was five in the morning.
That you took my hand. You led me to bed. You wrapped yourself around me
Said "put that thought right out of your head."
If only I had known that that was the last time.
With one hand you were holding, with the other letting go.
And I'm trying hard to hate you, but I just love you so bad.
And I'm trying hard to let go of the best I ever had.
And I'm trying to keep loving you while I'm hating what you've done.
And I'm trying to remember I am stronger as one.
Stronger as one.
I'm empty since you left me 'cause you filled up every part.
I hate it was so easy. I hate what you did with my heart.
And someday you will look back and the road behind has dissapeared.
And maybe you might need me then but I'm not gonna be here.
I'm not gonna be here.
I'm empty since you left me. I can't fix this hole in my heart
