Leaving Love Behind Lyrics

by Zac Brown Band

[Verse 1]
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 a 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e125993-zac_brown_band~leaving_love_behind_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
Sometimes you gotta lose something
To know what you have

[Chorus]
I believe (I believe), yes I do
The hardest part is always leaving love behind
I believe (I believe), yes I do
Oh, that everything we lose
Will be a gift in time
(I believe), I believe, (Yes I do)
The hardest part is leaving love behind
