I’m Leaving You Because I Don’t Love You

i am leaving you
because i don't love you
i am leaving you
because i don't love you

well it's the knowledge,
it's the knowledge,
it's the knowledge
of future clarity
that makes my voice tremble
with greater dignity

i am leaving you
because i don't love you
i am leaving you
because i don't love you

i'm sorry i have to be this
brutally honest, nicole
but my excuses were babies
of snow that i just could not hold

so you pick up your asthma inhaler
and put it against your lips
and oh those lips i've loved
that i was dreaming of
they're so red and soft
i'm so sorry i couldn't love you enough
i'm so sorry i couldn't love you enough
i'm so sorry that i'm leaving you
because i don't love you
i am leaving you
because i don't love you

so pick up your asthma inhaler
and put it against your lips
oh, those lips i've loved that i was dreaming of
they're still red and soft
i'm so sorry i couldn't love you enough
so sorry i couldn't love you enough

i'm so sorry
