There was a time
When you were all I had
And every night

I cried I loved you like mad

But love it changes like the moon

Like winter bears braes
'Cause, baby
That's just the nature of things


I tried to fight it
This fire grown dead

And I watched you hide it
What a mess we've been in


Always don't look back through it
Go through the leaves
I'll take their lead

'Cause that's the nature of things

So I'll walk away

I'll be the one they say is back
'Cause we both know we're afraid
To leave love in the past


Oh, it should kill me
It should pull all my heart's strength

But I am doing fine
That's just the nature of things


That's just the nature of things

That's just the nature of things
