=x07600,  D (9 fr.)=xx0230, =x02100.]
 When I let  you go, I  cursed myself with  empty hands
 Strong enough to  watch you walk,  but not enough to understand  it
 With spiteful  eyes you burn for  my grace
 I was trying to stand outside  of this,  you were trying to  save face
 You can say  that I don't care  (I don't care)
 You can hope  that we still  have something  left to
 share;  But just between  you, baby, and me
 Just between  me, baby, and you
 There's nothing there
 I finally found someone I can hold
 You ask me to defend myself, as if I shouldn't be so bold
 Well, get that look off of your face
 I don't have the time, (I don't have the time) and you don't have the place
 To say that I don't care (I don't care)
 And hope that we still have something left to share
 But just between me, baby, and you
 Just between you, baby, and me
 There's nothing there
 Baby, what are you gonna do?
 I can't salvage any truth from you
 Everybody else already knows
 It hurts you to  realize, so  leave well enough, enough  alone
 You don't need  my hands  to help you understand
 You don't need  to hear my  voice (you have no choice)
 So don't be throwing  stones; the closer  we get, the harder  they come
 Now, even  if you're feeling alone,  don't come home
 'Cause when  it was up to you  (when  it was up to you)
When  it was up to you,  you left  it up to
 me  (me...)  You left it  up to
 me,  oh you left,  oh you left  it up to me
When  it was up to you,  you left it  up to me
