Orla Gartland - Left Behind (lyric video)

[mooshi]

this is like the story of being in a group of your own friends but you can't help but feel so distant around them cause you aren't that close to some of them and it makes you feel like you're missing out a lot hence always being left behind.

[FRAZETC]

I've already cried at this 7 times and that's excluding all the times I've cried to the demo version

[maxwellgrimsley]

“If you’ve got no one at least you’ve got no one to miss” My heart-

[frozencheeks]

There's not a song on this album I don't adore, and every video is stunning

[nayome]

Listening at this at midnight with the lights off really felt overwhelming

[maxwellgrimsley]

Orla’s lyric videos manage to be the both simple and extremely complex at the same time

[beth]

"cause if you've got noone atleast you've got noone to miss" IM NOT CRYING U R

[Emily_Emina]

Orla, everytime you make new song it is better than previous, l‘m big fan!You are becoming better and better and only better!With every new song you make me happier ❤️Too many greetings 👋

[dannymantra]

This one is just so saddd, I think I realize I've been the person she's singing about in some relationships, which I am not proud of

[skylxykt]

Omfg 2:04 - 2:41 is, not even remotely exaggerating, one of the best segments of a song I've heard in my life!

This whole song is crushing and beautiful too and breaks me in the best way.

(alright, let's lyrically go)

[Spoken Intro]
Alright, let's go

[Verse 1]
I'm clinging onto you so tight, I know it hurts just a little
You say, "We will be alright", but I have my doubts
But it's better to be holding you while you pass through
Than not holding you at all
An elephant is in the room
Don't look, and don't try to feed it
You always want me on your terms
You can't have your cake and eat it

[Chorus]
I don't want you to go without me
But when you do won't you put yourself in my shoes?
'Cause I know this feeling
I'm so tired of being left behind

[Post-Chorus]
Left behind
Left behind
Everytime

[Verse 2]
Awake, in bed, in my own head, one day rolls into another
It looks like you've been having fun, at least that's what I told my mother
Maybe it's better to not have someone at all
Then no one else can let you down when they forget to call
I keep having this weird dream where you're about to go to war
And I'm just left there in the kitchen, staring at the door
I think I'm done with this
'Cause if you've got no one at least you've got no one to miss

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it better to be holdin' you while you pass through
Or not holdin' you at all?

[Chorus]
I don't want you to go without me
But when you do won't you put yourself in my shoes?
Because I know this feeling, I'm so tired of dreamin'
That you're not leavin'
Oh, I'm so tired of being left behind

[Post-Chorus]
Left behind
Left behind
Everytime
Left behind

[AlisterMalcolm]

"it's better to be holding you while you pass through than not holding you at all" is possibly the best lyric i've ever damn heard

[dabfr]

Your music fuels my soul. It’s gotten me through so much and continues to do so. I love every single one you release and they all resonate within me in some way. I can tell how passionate your re about your art just by listening to it. Magnificent.
