Love Is Everything

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 Or maybe it was for the love we made Oh, love is everything they said it would be And 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 can't 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 for the cowboys' ways Or maybe it was to learn not to lie Or maybe it was to learn how to cry Or maybe it was for the love we made Oh, love is everything they said it would be And 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 can't 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 am just leaving I am just leaving Love is everything Love is everything Love is everything Love is everything Love is everything Love is everything
