verse 1
C
I do believe
G
Love falls from the trees
C
It as fallen to me

As the wind brings its leaves

With the water at my knees

I can feel you next to me

That's how it is
C G
every time our lips meet
verse 2
C
And I won't believe
G
All that I see
C
What if my eyes
G
only deceive?
C
And they do not know
G
the hope within me
D
That's how it is
C G
not how it should be
Chorus

'Cause lovers and leavers are all or they're neither sometimes.

Followers follow and givers will give up their lives.

We all break promises and promises will break what we find.

That's how it is, not how it should be.
