Let You Go (The Tears Are Burning)

Waiting by the phone
Ripped up another letter
Cancelled another call
Deleted one more text

God, you act like I was never there
Waiting by the fucking phone
Waiting for another "how ya doing son?"
Nope, not a fucking word

So, one last time
I can't do this anymore
I can't take it anymore
Tired of breaking my own heart
Ripping my mind apart
Give me a reason to stay!
Give me a fucking reason to stay!

You like to think I never watched to see the inbox fill up
Like I never wished you good health with another cup
You act like I never loved you in the first place
You never had the balls to tell say shit to my face

So, one last time
I can't do this anymore
I can't take it anymore
Tired of breaking my own heart
Ripping my mind apart
Give you a taste of the shit;
What you can't grip in a fist

I was there to see
I was there to say
It's not the blood you have
It's the blood you spill

So, keep your mouth shut
Until you've held that fucking box
And mourned the living more often than the dead
I never forgot what was never said

So, one last time
I can't do this anymore
I can't take it anymore
Tired of breaking my own heart
Ripping my mind apart
Give me a reason to stay!
Give me a fucking reason to stay!

I walked a million miles to find love
None of them took one step to stop me
I'm the one you love to want
I'm the one you need to haunt
I'm the blood to be spilled
The martyr, the blacksheep, the strong one
I'm the one you'll miss when I'm gone

So, one last time
I can't do this anymore
I can't take it anymore
Tired of breaking my own heart
Ripping my mind apart
Give me a reason to stay!
Give me a fucking reason to stay!
