Zac Brown Band - Leaving Love Behind Lyrics

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 knowin'

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 shiftin' 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 somethin' 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 always leaving love behind
