The first light
Is climbing through the trees
Down on the street outside
The city's still asleep
I've been up all night
Kept hearing you breathe
Now, I'm watching the sun rise
From your side of my sheets
What if leaving love was the only love
You understood?
And leave was all you learned from love
Wouldn't you?
I felt like such a child
With you lying next to me
Nothing between us for a while
Not even memory
I've been up all night
The house too quiet to sleep
Every time I tried
I woke up to the same bad dream
What if leaving love was the only love
You understood?
Leaving love
The first real love you knew
All I need from love
What I mean by love
Me and you
What if leaving love's the only love? I'm due
What if leaving love was the only love
You understood?
'Cause leave was all you trusted love to do
All I need from love couldn't be enough
I'd change it if I could
Gotta leave love, before love gets to leave you
