Left at the Curb, Rain Coming Down

Lyrics
Left the club at midnight with my heels in my hand Group chat gone quiet, nobody's got a plan Ride share cancelled, phone at eleven percent Streetlight on the puddle, wondering where the night went Thought we'd leave together, that's what we said Now the bass is far behind me, only echoes in my head Mascara on my sleeve Cold air in my sleeve Nobody to tell I'm leaving Left at the curb, rain coming down Neon in the water, all the lights in town I'm not broken, I'm just walking slow Counting every streetlamp on the way back home Left at the curb, rain coming down Still got my own voice, still got my own sound Corner store is glowing, the clerk gives me a nod Hands me a paper napkin, says the night is not so hard Bus stop bench is empty, I sit and watch the street A stranger with a hoodie walks me to my feet Not every friend is steady, not every night is kind But I'm learning who is with me when the lights go blind Mascara on my sleeve Cold air in my sleeve Somebody finally sees me Left at the curb, rain coming down Neon in the water, all the lights in town I'm not broken, I'm just walking slow Counting every streetlamp on the way back home Left at the curb, rain coming down Still got my own voice, still got my own sound Text me in the morning, say you're sorry if you mean it I'll be warm and I'll be sleeping, I'll be fine Rain keeps on falling, but I'm done with all the leaving I'm the one who walks me home tonight Left at the curb, rain coming down Neon in the water, all the lights in town I'm not broken, I'm just walking slow Counting every streetlamp on the way back home Left at the curb, rain coming down Still got my own voice, still got my own sound Rain coming down Walking home, walking home Rain coming down
