Let the Love Die

I gave up my peace just to keep you around

I gave you all I could of my precious time

Ingrate the ruler, self-righteous the crown

Weighing on my heart, playing with my mind

I can't keep living this way

I can't keep living this way

I thought it could be different, girl—I thought we could change

But nature is a taxman and your debt is due

Done this all before and it always ends the same

You're walking out again, girl, and I'm letting you

I can't keep living this way

You can watch the smoke rise

I can't keep dragging these chains

So I let the love die

Let the love die

I gave you all my love, but you demand my soul

And that's a bridge too far; it was a matter of time

A bridge far too long gone to be saved

You've got your side of the story, girl, and I've got mine

I can't keep living this way

You can watch the smoke rise

I can't keep dragging these chains

So I let the love die

Let the love die

I can't keep living this way, yeah, yeah

You can watch the smoke rise

I can keep dragging these chains, no—

So I let the love die

I can't keep living this way

You can watch the smoke rise

I can't keep dragging these chains

So I let the love die

Let the love die
