Leave It To Love

(album: Life's Too Short - 2023)

I've seen it happen all around me time and time again
You fall in love before you fall apart
Standing on top of a mountain looking down at where you've been
And the getting there don't seem to be that hard

I worry way too much of what they say is bad for me
But they never warned about the thing they said would set me free

Leave it to the whiskey to bring the good times
Leave it to storm clouds to bring the sunshine
Leave it to highways to lead you to a brand new start
Leave it to neon light to light night sky
Leave it goodbyes to open your eyes
Leave it to losing all you had to see that you have enough
But when it comes right down to breaking hearts
Leave it to love
Leave it to love

You turn on that forever road and think you're doing fine
Then you find it's just a dead end from the start
Then happy turns to fighting turns to taillights from a car
It turns out the peace you need is in the bar

Leave it to the whiskey to bring the good times
Leave it to storm clouds to bring the sunshine
Leave it to highways to lead you to a brand new start
Leave it to neon light to light night sky
Leave it goodbyes to open your eyes
Leave it to losing all you had to see that you have enough
But when it comes right down to breaking hearts
Leave it to love
Leave it to love

I worry way too much of what they say is bad for me
But they never warned me 'bout the things they said would set me free

Leave it to the whiskey to bring the good times
Storm clouds to bring the sunshine
Highways to lead you to a brand new start
Leave it to neon light to light night sky
Leave it goodbyes to open your eyes
Leave it to losing all you had to see that you have enough
But when it comes right down to breaking hearts
Leave it to love
Leave it to love
Leave it to love
