Love Has Left The Room Lyrics

Love has left the room
The party is over
But I can’t get sober
Obsession is towing me
Deep down down

Love has left the room
It fled out the back door
When all that I asked for
Was forever more
Or a real bye bye
It didn’t say bye bye

And I’ll let go if you just tell me
Give back the pieces of dreams
that you sell me
they trick my mind

I’ll let go if you just let me
I will forget you
If you will forget me
I’ll slip your mind
I will slip your mind

Tie me to the mast
Cast me in irons
I hear the sirens
They sing of desire
The fatal kind

This love is my last
My final possession
Most violent caress
It’s a beautiful mess
And it’s deep down down
It’s really deep down down

And I’ll let go if you just tell me
give back the pieces of dreams
that you sell me
they trick my mind

I’ll let go if you just let me
I will forget you
If you will forget me
I’ll slip your mind
I will slip your mind

Once it settles down
and the fire has burned out
What d’you think you’ll find
poking through the embers
Memories that sting,
Little splinters of your doubt
Things that you can live without

So why die?
Give back the pieces of dreams
that you sell me
and trick my mind

I’ll let go if you just let me
I will forget you
If you will forget me
I’ll slip your mind
I will slip your mind

Such A Bad Comedown

Love has left the room 
The party is over 
But I can’t get sober 
Obsession is towing me 
Deep down down

Love has left the room 
It fled out the back door 
When all that I asked for 
Was forever more 
Or a real bye bye 
It didn’t say bye bye

And I’ll let go if you just tell me 
Give back the pieces of dreams 
that you sell me 
they trick my mind

I’ll let go if you just let me 
I will forget you 
If you will forget me 
I’ll slip your mind 
I will slip your mind

Tie me to the mast 
Cast me in irons 
I hear the sirens 
They sing of desire 
The fatal kind

This love is my last 
My final possession 
Most violent caress 
It’s a beautiful mess 
And it’s deep down down 
It’s really deep down down

And I’ll let go if you just tell me 
give back the pieces of dreams 
that you sell me 
they trick my mind

I’ll let go if you just let me 
I will forget you 
If you will forget me 
I’ll slip your mind 
I will slip your mind

Once it settles down 
and the fire has burned out 
What d’you think you’ll find 
poking through the embers 
Memories that sting, 
Little splinters of your doubt 
Things that you can live without

So why die? 
Give back the pieces of dreams 
that you sell me 
and trick my mind

I’ll let go if you just let me 
I will forget you 
If you will forget me 
I’ll slip your mind 
I will slip your mind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

'Once it settles down And the fire has burned out What do you think you'll find Poking through the embers'

When hearing Nina sing this portion of the song live, her expression of the lyrics blew me away. Really, just launched this song to the top of my charts. And this entire analyzation of the concept of love being fire burning, while it is cliche, was delivered brilliantly with the follow up. Once fire settles to the subtlety of glowing embers, anyone who wants to keep the flame going will prod around hoping to spark it up again. Love that comparison.
