I'm Leaving You Because I Don't Love You - Jens Lekman

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
