Leaving

It takes hell of a heart to know what a heart really needs

And I'm finding out that love ain't what love's cut out to be

And if I was not my momma's 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 it's 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 I can't keep

And I wish I could explain how the toxins in my brain

Get me so damn down 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 wanna leave

'Cause leaving's for a younger man I don't wanna 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 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
