[Verse 1]
She's calm collected and I'm wrapped around her finger
She runs away when any spark starts to linger
The words across her skin
Read "I'll never let you in"
And I believed it, but I ignored it
And so all signs point to failure and stay away
But her blue and her gold washed over me
And every lesson I've learned has a long delay
Well I hear it and I ignore it
(Well I hear it and I ignore it)
[Chorus 1]
So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of her wasted years decomposed in a day
Left for dead I'll be loosening the noose around my hands
All that glitters isn't gold
And I know that you don't under-
[Verse 2]
Stand the way I tried to stay away that night
Cause I thought that I could learn to swim in her riptide
And all her reasons for leaving
She knows there's no one I believed in
Knows there's nobody
She wears a hood to hide her face
She stands alone, I stood in place
With all the broken hearts before me
I saw perfection in a case
She shot me down, my bones embraced
I guess I heard it and ignored it
[Chorus 2]
So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of her wasted years decomposed in a day
Left for dead I'll be loosening the noose around my hands
All that glitters isn't gold
And I know that you don't understand
[Bridge]
So you'll find me here
In our wasted years
You'll still find me here
In our wasted years
[Outro Chorus]
So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of a wasted year decomposed in a day
So you'll find me here in the broken remains
Of a wasted year decomposed in a day
Left for dead I'll be loosening the noose around my hands
All that glitters isn't gold
And I know that you don't understand
And I know you don't, I know you don't understand
All that glitters isn't gold
And I know that you don't understand

Bassist Matt Roskilly said the following in an interview with The Modern Record:
Everyone loves [Left for Dead] because that song is more like a similar style to our older stuff but more grown up. It’s more well thought out.
