woke up in the morning with my broken heart still sound asleep,
i knew once i was losing that long before we could ever see
all i could hold on to was a fleeting little memory,
and all you ever [bad word] for me was half an empty melody.

i was hopin it'll change and turn back this lovin page
but a broken string guitar can only be played for so long,
i know one day it will change, i'll look back on this cold day,
fix this broken string guitar, and play myself a brand new song.

We tried so hard, we tried so hard
On that day, you left me standing there
We tried so hard, we tried so hard
On that day, I watched you walk away

Maybe what we needed was to turn away our bitter pride,
we are fueled to fire with words that cut like jagged knives,
falling downhill is the only way out of an avalanche,
can we make amends and maybe just pretend that all is well.
