maybe it was to learn how to love



maybe it was to learn how to leave



maybe it was for the games we played



maybe it was to learn how to choose



maybe it was to learn how to lose



maybe it was for the love we made





love is 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 cant wait 'til you make



the whole kingdom come



so I'm leaving





maybe it was to learn how to fight



maybe it was for the lesson in pride



maybe it was the cowboys' ways



maybe it was to learn not to lie



maybe it was to learn how to cry



maybe it was for the love we made





love is everything they said it would be



love did not hold back the reins



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 cant wait 'til you make



the whole kingdom come



so I'm leaving





first he turns to you



then he turns to her



so you try to hurt him back



but it breaks your body down



so you try to love bigger



bigger 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
