Leaving Love Behind

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 We were listening to the record on the end of your bed Not giving thought to where it was all going 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 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 shiftin' 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 The sun fades on me now and I miss you like words can't know And I missed my shot at dying young a long time ago It's just a lesson learned in love, it's not angry it's not sad Some time you have to lose somethin' 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 always leaving love behind --- Leaving Love Behind - Zac Brown Band
