As Long As the Period Stops the Sentence

### As Long as the Period Stops the Sentence

(Verse 1)

We're throwin' words like jagged stones, a fire in your eyes

My heart is beatin' out of my chest, a thunder in the skies

You're tearin' open every wound, every scar that we have earned

But I'm tired of fighting this old war, there's nothin' left to learn

I said my piece and I am done, I've said all I can say

But you keep pushin' forward, you won't let it fade away...

(Chorus)

And I'm beggin' you to stop, to just let it be

The period stops the sentence, why can't you see?

It's a full stop, a quiet end, before we fall apart

Before the damage tears us down and breaks a bleedin' heart

So please just turn and walk away, let's end this bitter fight

'Cause as long as the period stops the sentence, we can still make this right

(Verse 2)

I'm walking slowly out the room, but you're right on my heels

Your voice is a hammer on my mind, not caring how I feel

You say you're not done with this, you have so much more to get out

But every single word you speak just fills me more with doubt

I tried to close the door on us, to find a moment's peace

But you just bang upon the wood, you're offerin' no release

(Chorus)

And I'm beggin' you to stop, to just let it be

The period stops the sentence, why can't you see?

It's a full stop, a quiet end, before we fall apart

Before the damage tears us down and breaks a bleedin' heart

So please just turn and walk away, let's end this bitter fight

'Cause as long as the period stops the sentence, we can still make this right

(Bridge)

The quiet moments, they are the hardest when the truth begins to sting

We're so busy hurting one another, we've forgotten how to sing

The simple song of being loved, of holdin' one another near

But we can't ever get back there, as long as all we feel is fear...

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

And I'm beggin' you to stop, to just let it be

The period stops the sentence, why can't you see?

It's a full stop, a quiet end, before we fall apart

Before the damage tears us down and breaks a bleedin' heart

So please just turn and walk away, let's end this bitter fight

'Cause as long as the period stops the sentence, we can still make this right

(Outro)

Yeah, as long as the period stops the sentence...

We can still make this right...

Just walk away...

Please walk away...
