Lyrics for I'm Leaving You Because I Don't Love You

I am leaving you because I don't love you I am leaving you because I don't love you Oh it's the knowledge, It's the knowledge, It's the knowledge Of future calamity 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 honestly cold But my excuses were babies of snow that I just could not hold So you pick up your asthma inhaler and put it 'gainst 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 I'm so sorry I couldn't love you enough I'm so sorry But I'm leaving you because I don't love you I am leaving you because I don't love you So you pick up your asthma inhaler and put it 'gainst 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
