Bo Armstrong - Love and Leave Lyrics

One drink at the bar turns in to two
I went in alone, stumbled out the door with you
Slid on in to the backseat of that taxi
Couldn't stop thinking 'bout the love that we hadn't found yet
We looked into each other's eyes
Couldn't say no even though we knew it wasn't right

I know this road I'm going down won't get me where I want to get
I've grown too use to livin' minute by minute with yesterday's regret
I keep wakin' up on the wrong side of a bed that isn't mine
I want to learn to love and leave all this behind

There was a time before all the one night stands
When a young man learned what heartache was because he didn't understand
That she had fallen hard for him
Maybe he was just naive but he didn't get what that meant
So he learned the consequences
He broke her heart and that broke histhat broke his

I know this road I'm going down won't get me where I want to get
I've grown too use to livin' minute by minute with yesterday's regret
I keep wakin' up on the wrong side of a bed that isn't mine
I want to learn to love and leave all this behind

I'm not hopeless, I know you're out there
Won't you show me what forever really means
I ain't done tryin' and girl I'm buyin'
So won't you sit down here and have a drink with me
You can tell me what you think

I know this road I'm going down won't get me where I want to get
I've grown too use to livin' minute by minute with yesterday's regret
I keep wakin' up on the wrong side of a bed that isn't mine
I want to learn to love and leave all this behind

I want to learn to love and leave all this behind
