I Had to Leave You

from Legends by Bill White

/

lyrics

i know that you expected to be killed and ressurrected
but on this street everybodys on parole
so i embraced the thing i feared until my conscience disappeared
and you won that viscious bet against my soul

chorus
it wasnt a kiss it was a kiss off
it wasnt a fight it was the fire in the night
dong tell me you love me i dont believe you
i didnt want to but i had to leave you

you spoke so delicate and softly my heart broke and fell off me
i stumbled down the mountain to the street
while i stood around and bowed while you tore apart the crowd
like the wolves that were howling at your feet

i took every point of view except the one devised by you
with your eyes in every corner of the room
i made so many mistakes then the sky began to break
when you pulled it ever tightly on the loom

i didnt want any part when your world turned so dark
i ran away and got lost inside the wood
so i just sat down and cried like a prince without his bride
as the ladder of your hair started to burn
