Hate To See You Leave (J. Fisher, J.M. Carroll)

It was February on the front porch swing
And the freezing cold would only bring you closer to me
Back then it was simple, and love was all we’d need
But as we grew up, you needed something other than me

It sounds crazy that you’re leaving me again
‘Cause we’ve been back and forth a million times since then 

I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go
Girl, that’s just something I thought you should know
Even though you’re angry and I don’t want to be alone
I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go

Day after day, that’s how the story goes
‘Til you start slipping away to where only heaven knows
You know I can’t deny you every time you come back home
But there’s only so much that a man can take before he moves on


It sounds crazy that you’re leaving me again
‘Cause we’ve been back and forth a million times since then

I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go
Girl, that’s just something I thought you should know
Even though you’re angry and I don’t want to be alone
I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go
