Passed you on my way out to work today
You were looking out your window
At someone else
I had to stop to think, or was it to dream?
Either way all those feelings
Kept coming back to me

So tell me what I need to hear
Try to make it sound convincing to me

Chorus:
Was it the right thing to do?
To leave you standing there all alone
While I just sat there and stared at you
You know I never could bear
To see you crying
So tell me
It was the right thing to do
Tell me
It was right leaving you

Every now and then
I still stop by and see your friends
They all treat me like I'm still one of them
They buy me a drink
And we all smile and reminisce
It kinda' makes me wonder what coulda' shoulda' been

So show me what I need to see
Put on your best face for the Academy

Was it the right thing to do?
To leave you standing there all alone
While I just sat there and stared at you
You know I never could bear
To see you crying
So tell me
It was the right thing to do
Tell me
It was right leaving you

So will you never tell me?
How will I ever know?
Should I come, run, beggin' of you
Or should I leave it alone?
Alone

Was it the right thing to do
To leave you standing there all alone
While I just sat there and stared at you
You know I never could bear
To see you crying
So tell me
It was the right thing to do
Tell me
It was right leaving you.
