Why Do They Leave? Lyrics

Cover art for Why Do They Leave? lyrics by Ryan Adams

I actually look at the lyric as he was probably not taking the relationship as seriously as he wished he had now that she has decided to leave. Always hurts more to be the dumpee, and now he's hurting (but not until she left). I think it is a powerful message to not take things for granted...simple things like, cards, rose colored sunsets. Just my take.
