| 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.
