The Straw

Could’ve been the way you stood there acting like I needed you to save the day

I don’t need to be saved

Could’ve been you cornered my emotions up against the wall when I needed space

You know I needed space

I would’ve traded all the things you gave me I didn’t need

I thought I was a stayer, but God, you made a runner out of me

My shoulders would hold ya and the gravity of the blame

Heart broke, no joke, do we really have to give it a name?

My back aches, my bones break, I was the only one willing to change

Who cares what made it heavy, anyway?

The straw

Was it that I spelled it out in black and white but you could never hear me?

You can only hear yourself

I know you think I just gave up, but I didn’t give up, I was so damn patient

I tried, I cried, but like a dam to a flood, I could only take so much

My shoulders would hold ya and the gravity of the blame

Heart broke, no joke, do we really have to give it a name?

My back aches, my bones break, I was the only one willing to change

Who cares what made it heavy, anyway?

The straw that broke the back of the girl that loved ya

The straw that broke the back of the girl that loved ya

The straw that broke the back of the girl that loved ya

The last damn straw that broke the back of the girl that loved ya, ah

My shoulders would hold ya and the gravity of the blame

Heart broke, no joke, do we really have to give it a name?

My back aches, my bones break, I was the only one willing to change

Who cares what made it heavy, anyway?

The straw

The straw

Ooh, the straw that broke the back of the girl that loved ya

The last damn straw that broke the back of the girl that loved ya

Damn
