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
 I'm just leaving
 Love is everything...
