much less to fly away

bittersweet seasons
mistake a warm winter for spring
seems like i'm best at leaving
when leaving is not the best thing
you couldn't help it if you needed more than i could give
and that's just way it goes now
i call you misplaced
but never a waste of my time
everybody's gonna make mistakes
but you'll never be one of mine
you couldn't help it if you needed more than i could give
that's just the way it goes
i knew you felt me leaving long before i ever did
and that's just the way it goes now
you loved me fearless
you needed to
you would not rest
til you came through
so god bless
and thank you
there is no anger
there's just you and i and the truth
you can try to make her
but love will not be forced to bloom
to bloom
you couldn't help it if you needed more than i could give
that's just the way it goes now
the only love worth fighting for is one that you can win
that's just the way it goes now
you would not break
but you could bend
and for love's sake
you let love in
but i still swear that you were god sent
and you stood before me knowing that the wings i have you gave
and that's just the way it goes now
and i barely have the breath to breathe
much less to fly away
and that's just the way it goes now
and a silence entered the room
for one last "i'm gonna love you"
so god bless and thank you
so god bless
and thank you
thank you
