Can't Take Anymore

I'm haunted by the echoes

Of words we left unsaid

In the sounds between our silence

Lies a pain I can't forget

I see their smiles in pictures

They'll never know my name

I'm grasping at the fragments

Of a love that slipped away

But now you've got your own life

Your own family, your own kids

And there's not that much that's left of me to miss

I'm holding on to memories

That were never really meant to be

You gave me everything you had

I took it all for me

Now everything is changing

And it can't be like before

And the only truth I know right now

Is I can't take anymore

I came to see my selfish ways

Throughout the lonesome years

You stood by me at every step

But I couldn't dry your tears

My way of saying thank you

Was to never say it back

So I guess I'll say goodbye

And you can finally drop the act

I'm holding on to memories

That were never really meant to be

You gave me everything you had

And I took it all for me

Now everything is changing

And it can't be like before

And the only truth I know right now

Is I can't take anymore

Your hands felt warm in mine that night

When I was screaming for a priest

But I can't wait in line no more

I'm down here on my knees

I'm holding on to memories

That were never really meant to be

You gave me everything you had

I took it all for me

Now everything is changing

And it can't be like before

And the only truth I know right now

Is I can't take anymore
