As I read all her goodbyes, I knew I couldn't save us this time
The structure that we built collapsed before my very eyes
I love you's a strong phrase, but every time that it was said
The support struts would cave in
I never thought you wouldn't be my forever
Closed grips holding on to nothing now
Undone are the ties we had, but I can't let you go
Chapped lips kiss a bottle full of sin
The river flows with bad decisions
Cause I can't let you go
New addictions have started to take the place
Of a hand that I once held, and where your lips once met my face
I bow my head and close my eyes, to soothe my pain
Cause I've held this rose so long, the thorns dug under my skin
I never thought you wouldn't be my forever
Cause after all this time, I thought at least we'd have each other
Closed grips holding on to nothing now
Undone are the ties we had, but I can't let you go
Chapped lips kiss a bottle full of sin
The river flows with bad decisions
Cause I can't let you go
Cause what I want, and what you need, is for you to be happy
But what I want, and what I'll never be, is enough to make it real
What I want, and what you need, is for you to be happy
But what I wanted more than anything, was to be enough to make it real
Closed grips holding on to nothing now
Undone are the ties we had, but I can't let you go
Chapped lips kiss a bottle full of sin
The river flows with bad decisions
Cause I can't let you go
No I can't let you go
