Drea Gordon - Elijah Lyrics

Elijah sits on the sidewalk
I wouldn't let him inside
He yelled he just wanted to come in and talk
But the last time we did that I cried

Elijah's drunkenly passing
I slowly back away from the door
I hate that he's out there waiting
He should know I can't do this anymore

'Cuz he lost his shot
When he had me caught
Between his fists
I'm not over it
And it's something I'll never forget
Hope it's something you always regret

Elijah met me in springtime
In summer I was his doll
He built me a sweet space with beautiful sunshine
I was lucky to give him my all

But in the dark of the fall he started to drink again
And pleasant emotions were stalled
And in the winter I questioned his loving protection
I started ignoring his calls

'Cuz he lost his shot
When he had me caught
Between his fists
I'm not over it
And it's something I'll never forget

And he left his mark
On my bruised empty heart
And I want the time back and I want to laugh
But it's something I'll never forget
Hope it's something you always regret

Elijah why'd ya?
Elijah why?

Elijah why'd ya?
Elijah why?

Elijah why'd ya?
Elijah why?

Elijah why'd ya?
Elijah why?

'Cuz he lost his shot
When he had me caught
Between his fists
I'm not over it
And it's something I'll never forget

And he left his mark
On my bruised empty heart
And I want the time back and I want to laugh
But it's something I'll never forget
Hope it's something you always regret

Elijah's gone from the sidewalk
The fear shudders off my back
I feel all the lightning that left me in shock
Finally starting to pass
