You were a pain girl, a thorn in my side
Drove me insane girl, a white-knuckle ride
So why do I go looking´ through old photographs
And chase you down the hallways of our checkered past

Hold on for dear life and keep the fire fed
I oughta let go but instead

It´s like I´m pressing on a bruise
To see if it still hurts
Right now that´s all I´ve got left of you
Everybody knows that just makes it worse
But still I do

I could start a new life, I could move on
I could do a drive by, and see if you´re home
Now there´s a fine, fine line between a memory
And something any shrink would call an injury
But it´s not over long as you´re still hurting´ me
And as I turn onto your street

It´s like I´m pressing on a bruise
To see if it still hurts
Right now that´s all I´ve got left of you
Anybody knows that just makes it worse
But still I do

Still I do, still I do, still love you

But she´s the kind of girl puts your world on hold
Walk the halls and you check your phone
Gave up the ghost and the ghost keeps holdin´ on
And you run from the sun but you curse the rain
Lost the love so you nurse the pain
Going´ on and on, singing´ that same song

But she´s gone
(I can´t let it alone)
And you get drunk on those glory days
(I can´t just let it heal)
With a broken heart and a bitter taste
(No, I can´t just let it go)
Well, you light it up as she burns you down
(I can´t just let it heal)
You´re smoking´ those memories to the ground
(Like I´m pressing on a bruise)
Yeah, that´s the thing about love and pain
They may look alike but they´re not the same
(No, I can´t just let it go)
You´ve got to let it go go go
(No, I can´t just let it heal)
