Only Passing Through

Well I've been here before

To the place where love decides

To slowly wither away

And move on to something more

Well there ain't no changing

When love makes up her mind

You hang on with all your heart

But you get left behind

So you just move out of the way

Chorus

Cause there ain't nothing you can do

When love is Only Passing Through

Well you can ease the pain

With the softness in your smile

But you eyes give it away

There's no need to explain

I don't regret it

I wish I just had more time

I held love for one small moment

But she was never mine

And now we go our separate ways

Chorus

Why can't you stay, let me hold you a little longer

Can't you settle down, why you always have to wander

You fill one heart, and you painfully leave another

I know it won't be long

I'll be talking to myself

Watching leaves hit the ground

And you'll have already gone

And I'll save the pieces for the day you return

And I'll be ready to ignore the lessons I never learned

But 'til then I'll be alone

Cause there ain't nothing you can do

When love has turned her back on you

Chorus
