Lyrics

It’s been We pass in the hall

on our way to sep ’rate rooms.

The on ly time we ev er talk

is when the month ly bills are due.

We go to work, we go to church, we fake the per fect life.

I’m past the point of giv in’ damns, but hearts can on and all my tears are cried.

We can just go (E)on

(Esus)like

this.

Say the word, we’ll call

it

quits.

Ba by, you can go

or you can stay,

but I won’t love you eith er way.

It’s been so long since I felt

an y thing in side these walls.

The You can’t hate and you can’t hurt

is when when you don’t feel at all.

I used to cry and stay up nights and won der what went wrong.

I’m past the point And it’s been hard, but hearts can on and do that for so long.

We can just go (E)on

(Esus)like

this.

Say the word, we’ll call

it

quits.

Ba by, you can go

or you can stay,

but I won’t love you eith er way.

(CN.C.)We can just go
