“Love Is Leaving”
By: Steve Everett
Verse 1
I hate things ever have to end
I’d rather go down with the ship than start again
But I’d have to hold you at the bottom of the sea
Cause love is leaving what is left of you and me
I’m not sure how much I can take
But we’re limping closer to that limit every day
I’d rather be blind than be a color you can’t see
Oh love is leaving what is left of you and me
Chorus
I don’t wanna talk about the weather
Never make love without a buzz
Fake smiles for pictures on our anniversary
While love is leaving what is left of you and me
Verse 2
I wish I knew just what to say
But you can’t leave things better than you found ‘em if you stay
Our light shines red while other pastures turn more green
Oh love is leaving what is left of you and me
Bridge
I suppose that I could make my way through the holidays
Cause I don’t wanna send you home alone
But after Christmas time it’s new years and then valentine’s
I guess the spring’s the way to go
