Leaving

It takes a hell of a heart To know what a heart really needs And I'm finding out that love Ain't what loves cut out to be If I was not my mamas boy I'd leave you crying in this car Punch a hole in your damn dashboard And forget the girl you are We've been fighting for so long It'd be a shame to let this go But I'd rather let it lie Than hurt a sweet girl I know And its getting dark now So won't you just stay And I'll tell you that I love you 'Til the leaving goes away 'Til the leaving leaves this house No, we ain't going out 'Til I make some promises that I can't keep And I wish I could explain how the toxins in my brain Get me so damn down, that sometimes I can't speak And you'll try to understand why I can't be a better man But it's hard when I'm yelling at you in the street So if leaving comes to staying And you walk yourself away Leave knowing that no one could Love you more than me And I hope the world don't mind All the simple things I ask Like a porch with good lighting And to hear my lady laugh And I'll act indifferent Because I don't want to leave Because leaving's for a younger man That I don't want to be 'Til the leaving leaves this house No, we ain't going out 'Til I make some promises that I can't keep And I wish I could explain how the toxins in my brain Get me so damn down, that sometimes I can't speak And you'll try to understand why I can't be a better man But it's hard when I'm yelling at you in the street So if leaving comes to staying And you walk yourself away Leave knowing that no one could Love you more than me
