Love Is Everything Lyrics - Jane Siberry

Maybe it was to learn how to love 

Maybe it was to learn how to leave 

Maybe it was for the games we played 

Maybe it was to learn how to choose 

Maybe it was to learn how to lose 

Or maybe it was for the love we made 

Oh, love is 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 'til you make the whole kingdom come 

So I'm leaving 

Maybe it was to learn how to fight 

Maybe it was for the lesson in pride 

Maybe it was for the cowboys' ways 

Or maybe it was to learn not to lie 

Or maybe it was to learn how to cry 

Or maybe it was for the love we made 

Oh, love is everything they said it would be 

And love did not hold back the reins 

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 'til you make the whole kingdom come 

So I'm leaving 

First he turns to you, then he turns to her 

So you try to hurt him back 

But it breaks your body down 

So you try to love bigger, bigger still 

But it, it's 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 am just leaving 

I am just leaving 

Love is everything 

Love is everything 

Love is everything 

Love is everything 

Love is everything 

Love is everything
