Lyric

When you’re drowning in a deep desire

You look for someone to pull you from the fire

But love and hate are on a paper-thin line

One step and the thorns begin to entwine

It started so light, a spring romance in bloom

But soon turned to summer, a heat that filled the room

If I couldn’t stop this wild, burning heart

The only choice was to tear us apart

I had to walk away, far from your side

With nowhere left for my feelings to hide

If I stayed any longer, we’d burn to the ground

So I chose the silence, without any sound

Yes, leaving you was the only way

To save the love that we had that day

When you’re overflowing with a love so deep

A gentle peace is the promise you keep

But sorrow is waiting on the other side

In the tears of a longing you can’t even hide

An autumn romance I couldn’t let go

Turning to winter, buried in snow

If the pain was too heavy for one soul to bear

I had to leave you standing right there

I had to walk away, far from your side

With nowhere left for my feelings to hide

The seasons are turning, the cycle goes on

But the version of "us" is already gone

Yes, leaving you was the only way

To save the love that we had that day

Spring returns with a whisper of green

A dream of a love that’s yet to be seen

If I could start over, if I could be free

I’d still choose the path that led away from me

Because to love you truly, I had to be gone

To let your own life finally move on

I had to walk away, far from your side

With nowhere left for my feelings to hide

A dream of a romance, a ghost of a kiss

In a world that is colder than the one that I miss

Yes, leaving you was the only way

To keep our memory from turning to gray

The only way

To leave you was to love you

Spring comes again

But I’m already gone
