Leaving Love Behind

Intro: | | Verso 1: Although the years have changed now and we go by different names I remember the sound of our roof in the rain And my mind goes back in time to a place so far gone Where the love we left behind us was still new Verso 2: We were listenin' to a record on the end of your bed Not givin' thought to where it was all goin' And I wished right then and there so badly I could read your mind Just so I could know the things that you were knowin' I believe, yes, I do The hardest part is always leaving love behind I believe, yes, I do That everything we lose will be a gift in time But the hardest part is leaving love behind Verso 3: When it was time to say goodbye, those words came down like stones I admit for so long after it was hard to feel at home We would hear the highway's song shifting down in the night I was grateful that the echoes broke the quiet I believe, yes, I do The hardest part is always leaving love behind I believe, yes, I do That everything we lose will be a gift in time But the hardest part is leaving love behind Instrumental: | | Verso 4: The sun fades on me now and I miss you like words can't know And I missed my shot at dyin' young a long time ago It's just a lesson learned in love, it's not angry, it's not sad Sometimes you gotta lose something to know what you have I believe (I believe), yes, I do The hardest part is always leaving love behind I believe (I believe), yes, I do Oh, that everything we lose will be a gift in time (I believe) I believe (Yes, I do) The hardest part is leaving love behind
