Don't Say Goodbye

I took your heart and tore it apart

Every word we said fell apart

You told me we could make it through

But now all you see is what I put you through

The nights are empty, they cut like a knife

You can’t escape what I did to your life

I tried to hold you when you fell apart

But I still see the pain in your heart

Your kiss still burns, your touch still stays

But loving you keeps me wide awake

I drive these roads trying to forget

But every mile hurts worse than the last

So hold me tight until it hurts

Lie to me until it burns

If this is love, then let it bleed

Let’s close our eyes and never leave

Oh darlin’, don’t let go tonight

We’ll destroy each other if we fight

You say the truth and it cuts me deep

I lie here crying while you sleep

Your silence hits harder than your words

You wear the pain like it’s all you’ve heard

The whiskey’s gone but the hurt stays loud

I still hear your voice when I break down

I swallow your pain like it’s all I have left

You’re part of me, I can’t forget

If this is hell, I’ll stay right here

We’ll fall together, I don’t care

The music plays our last goodbye

Under this sky we’re already dying

We’re standing here with nothing left

Two broken people, scared to death

We made a mess we can’t undo

I hate this love but I still want you

The wind is loud and the trees are shaking

I still see you when my hands are shaking

We wrote our names where no one goes

A love this painful never really goes

I carry your name like a weight on my chest

Your memory won’t give me rest

The bottle’s empty, the fire is gone

I’d give up everything to hold you one more time

So hold me tight until it hurts

Lie to me until it burns

If this is love, then let it bleed

Let’s close our eyes and never leave

Oh darlin’, don’t let go tonight

We’ll destroy each other if we fight

If we never wake… just stay with me

Don’t say a word, just let it be

If we never wake, let’s stay right here

In all this pain, in all this fear

Close your eyes, don’t say goodbye

We’ll stay broken, you and I
