2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Leave me here alone by Marvin Delyea

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’m sitting here today again and wonderin’
My mind can’t help but travel back in time
I know I shouldn’t think but I still do
I know I’ll never fully get over you

[Verse 2]
Waitress, please bring me another beer
I need a glass to drown my sorrows all away
Drinking helps me forget all your memories
That too often make my mind and body pay

[Chorus]
Leave me here alone sitting lonely by the phone
Waiting for you to make that call
I know it may not ring
And I can’t do a god dang thing
For your memories are haunting me today

[Verse 3]
I know that I could call you up today
But figure that you’d never want it that way
Instead I choose to drown my pain in a glass
So waitress fill it up for me and please don’t ask

[Chorus]
Leave me here alone sitting lonely by the phone
Waiting for you to make that call
I know it may not ring
And I can’t do a god dang thing
For your memories are haunting me today

Yes, your memories are haunting me today
