lyrics

THE LEAVING KIND
M. Mosher/K. Proffit

Another safe landing I can breathe for a moment
Until the sweet sound of freedom comes calling him back to the clouds
He’ll go without warning cuz nobody owns him
Better get used to goodbye he’s the leaving kind

I feel him get closer and it’s never over
And he never looks back at the miles underneath his feet
I’m a delicate creature I’m struck with this fever
Why’d I have to fall in love with the leaving kind

I don’t wanna to try to hold him down just to have him by my side
Wild horses were never meant to ride

Slowly I’ll let go he’ll be gone come tomorrow
God help me ease my mind he’s the leaving kind
God help me ease my mind he’s the leaving kind

Been told by his mother he’d never recover
If he ever let a woman too close she’d break him down
The longer the staying the harder the breaking
So I’m feeling the sting of goodbye he’s the leaving kind

I don’t wanna try to hold him down just to have him by my side
I don’t wanna tie him to this earth I’ve got to let him fly
Wild horses were never meant to ride

Slowly I’ll let go he’ll be gone come tomorrow
Why’d I have to give my heart to the leaving kind
Why’d I have to give my heart to the leaving kind
Why’d I have to give my heart to the leaving kind

Manda Boo Songs (ASCAP), Kirsten Proffit (BMI)
