I Can't Hate You Anymore


An empty room can be so deafening,
The silence makes you wanna scream.
It drives you crazy,
I chased away the shadows of your name,
And burned the picture in the frame,
But it couldn't save me.
How could we quit something we never even tried?
Well you still can't tell me why.

We built it up, to watch it fall,
Like we meant nothin' at all,
I gave and gave, the best of me,
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away, you stole my life,
Just to find what you're lookin' for,
But no matter how i try,
I can't hate you anymore.
I can't hate you anymore.

You're not the person that you used to be,
The one I want who wanted me,
And that's a shame but,
There's only so many tears that you can cry before
It drains the light right from your eyes

And I can't go on that way,
And so I'm letting go of everything we were,
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.
We built it up, to watch it fall,
Like we meant nothin' at all,
I gave and gave, the best of me,
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away, you stole my life,
Just to find what you're lookin' for,
But no matter how i try,
I can't hate you anymore.

Sometimes you hold so tight it slips right through you hands.
Will I ever understand?

We built it up, to watch it fall,
Like we meant nothin' at all,
I gave and gave, the best of me,
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away, you stole my life,
Just to find what you're lookin' for,
But no matter how i try,
I can't hate you anymore.
