On

I’m not listening to the radio
Don’t want to hear my favorite song
You can listen if you want to
I guess someone left it on
I was just thinking of her memory
And a love I had that’s gone
A love that I thought I’d forgotten
But I guess I left it on

Now I don’t turn out the lights
All day and all night
I just sit here all alone
Don’t even answer the phone
Nothing matters much to me
Thinking bout what used to be
No I won’t last too long
With her memory on

I wasn’t looking at the TV
The station’s sighed off until dawn
It’s just lighting up the corner
I guess someone left it on
I was just starring out the window
Thinking how she’d done me wrong
I thought my love for her was over
But I guess I left it on
