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 tried?
Well 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 you´re 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 me
But couldn´t give you what you need
You walked away
You stole my life
Just to find what you´re 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 you´re looking for
But no matter how I try
I can´t hate you anymore
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 you´re looking for
But no matter how I try
I can´t hate you anymore
