Leaving Love Behind - Zac Brown Band

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 knowing

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
Shifting 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 something
To know what you have

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
I believe, yes I do
But the hardest part is leaving love behind
