Verse 1
I finally fi-gured out that
youre not coming back
and I'm not go-ing anywhere
You were the one with all the
faith how did you let it slip away?
Thats right, I'm
blaming this all on you
and the little
things you didnt do
We both knew that
you were stronger
could have fought
a little longer
You didnt hold
it tight enough
You lost your grip and I slipped
right through your fingers
Chorus
No more sleepless nights alone
This bed is better without you
No more waiting up for calls
I've got nothing left to say to you
Verse 2
Tell me again a--bout
those better days
This silence hurts me more
than anything you could say
Broken knuckles broken heart
I fell in love then fell apart
You tried to run I tried to
hide still we managed to collide
Fell so hard matching scars
Held you close felt so far
Hearts beating out of time
Youre screaming with
no reason and no rhyme
(Repeat Chorus)

So I will save this last breath
for words that I wont scream
I dont feel like dying
