An empty room can be so deafening
The silence makes you wanna scream
And drives you crazy
I chased away the shadows of your name
And burned the picture in the frame
But it couldn't save me
How could we quit something we never even tried
Well you still can't tell me why

Built it up, to watch it fall
Like we meant nothin' at all
I gave and gave, the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need
You walked away, stole my life
Just to find what you're lookin' 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 life 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

Built it up, to watch it fall
Like we meant nothin' at all
I gave and gave, the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need
You walked away, stole my life
Just to find what you're lookin' for
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore

Sometimes you hold so tight
It slips right through you hands
Will I ever understand

Built it up, to watch it fall
Like we meant nothin' at all
I gave and gave, the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need
You walked away, stole my life
Just to find what you're lookin' for
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore

Built it up, to watch it fall
Like we meant nothin' at all
I gave and gave, the best of me
But couldn't give you what you need
You walked away, stole my life
Just to find what you're lookin' for
But no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore
