Love Is Everything (Jane Siberry) Lyrics

Maybe it was to learn how to love Maybe it was to learn how to leave Or maybe it was for the games that we played Maybe it was to learn how to choose Maybe it was to learn how to lose Or maybe it was for love that we met
Love was 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 for you to make the whole kingdom come so I'm leavin'
Maybe it was to learn how to fight Maybe it was to lessen our pride Maybe it's just nature's way Maybe it was to learn how to laugh Maybe it was to learn to cry Or maybe it was for the love then we met
Love was everything they said it would be Love made sweet and sad the same And 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 for you to make the whole kingdom come so I'm leavin'
First I turn to you then I turn away So you try to hurt me back Oh it breaks your body down So you try to love bigger better still But it is 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" I'm just leaving
