Maybe it was to learn how to love
|
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
|
Or maybe it was for the games that we played
|
Maybe it was to learn how to choose
|
Maybe it was to learn how to lose
|
Or maybe it was for love that we made
|
|
Love was everything they said it would be
|
Love made sweet and sad the same
|
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
|
You're chickening out aren't you?
|
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
|
I can't wait for you to make
|
The whole kingdom come
|
So I'm leaving
|
|
Maybe it was to learn how to fight
|
Maybe it was to lessen our pride
|
Or maybe it's just nature's way
|
Maybe it was to learn how to laugh
|
Maybe it was to learn to cry
|
Or maybe it was for the love that we made
|
|
Love was everything they said it would be
|
Love made sweet and sad the same
|
And love forgot to make me too blind to see
|
You're chickening out aren't you?
|
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
|
I can't wait for you to make
|
The whole kingdom come
|
So I'm leaving
|
|
First I turn to you
|
Then I turn away
|
So you try to hurt me back
|
Oh it breaks your body down
|
So you try to love bigger
|
Better still
|
But it's too late
|
|
So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel
|
And know you'll never be the same
|
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say
|
I gave my love didn't I?
|
And I gave it big sometimes
|
And I gave it in my own sweet time
|
I'm just leaving
|
I'm just leaving
|
