Leaving

It takes a hell of a heart to know
What a heart really needs
And I'm finding out that love
Ain't what loves cut out to be
If I was not my mommas boy
I'd leave you crying in my car
Punch a hole in your damn dashboard
And forget the girl you are
We've been fighting for so long
It'd be a shame to let this go
But I'd rather let it lie
Than hurt a sweet girl I know
And its getting dark now
So won't you just stay
And I'll tell you that I love you
Till the leaving goes away
Till the leaving leaves this house
No, we ain't going out
Till I make some promises I can't keep
And I wish I could explain
How the toxins in my brain
Get me so damn down
Sometimes I can't speak
And you'll try to understand why
I can't be a better man
But it's hard
When I'm yelling at you in the street
But if leaving comes to staying
And you walk yourself away
Leave knowing that no one could
Love you more than me
I hope the world don't mind
All the simple things I ask
Like a porch with good lighting
And to hear my lady laugh
And I'll act indifferent because
I don't want to leave
Because leavings for a younger man
That I don't want to be
Till the leaving leaves this house
No, we ain't going out
Till I make some promises I can't keep
And I wish I could explain
How the toxins in my brain
Get me so damn down
Sometimes I can't speak
And you'll try to understand why
I can't be a better man
But it's hard
When I'm yelling at you in the street
But if leaving comes to staying
And you walk yourself away
Leave knowing that no one could
Love you more than me
