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 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

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

Sometimes you gotta lose something

To know what you have

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
