Only Love Can Hurt Like This

I never left because I stopped loving you

I left because I feared what the truth would do

I had the whole wild,

wide sky, but nowhere left to

fly

When the only place I wanted was right there by your side

Below me on the ribbon of gray

Your taillights turn and slip away

I look down from the mountain air

You think you're alone down

there (oh-oh)

Only love can hurt like this When feathers beat in the freezing

mist

I broke your heart just to keep my skin

Too afraid of what you'd see within Only love can break you

in two

When I have wings,

but I just want you

A golden eagle riding on the highland wind

Born to turn where the summits end

I feared if you knew

what I become at night

You would look at me with sorrow or with fright So I

chose the storm over telling you

I'm done running high above your head

I should have trusted what

you said

I will fold these wings and land in the stone

Face your eyes and make it known

Will you run or will you take my hand? (ah-ah-ah)

Only love can hurt like this

When feathers beat in the freezing mist

I broke your heart just to keep my skin

Too afraid of what you'd see within Only love

can break you in two

When I have wings,

but I'm landing for you

(only love, only love) I'm stepping down into the road

Ready to bear this heavy load Dust...

I'm right here
