An empty room can be so deafening
The silence makes you wanna scream
It drives you crazy.
I chased away the shadows of your name
And burned the picture in a frame
But it couldn't save me.And how could we quit something we never even triedWell you still can't tell me why.
We built it up
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what your looking for.
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore.
...I can't hate you anymore.
You're not the person that you used to be
The one I want who wanted me
And that's a shame but
There's only so many tears that you can cry.Before it drains the light right from your eyes
And I can't go on that way.
And so I'm letting go of everything we were
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
We built it up
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of meBut couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what your looking for.
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore.
Sometimes you hold so tight
It slips right through your hands.
Will I ever understand?
We built it up
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what your looking for.
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore
