Love Is Everything

Maybe it was to learn how to love Maybe it was to learn how to leave Or maybe it was for the games we played Maybe it was to learn how to choose Maybe it was to learn how to lose Or maybe it was for the love 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 Maybe it's just nature's way Maybe it was to learn how to lie Maybe it was to learn to cry Maybe it was for the love we made Love was everything they said that 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 turns 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, 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 --- Love Is Everything - k.d. lang
