[COLD OPEN] -...let it rest now... ...just let it rest... [VERSE 1] I look at the pieces scattered all over the floor I don't even know what we were fighting for anymore You came to me fractured with a heavy heart But I was already shattered right from the start I can't point the finger I can't place the blame 'Cause I threw the gasoline right on the flame We tried to build a shelter out of broken glass Just waiting for the inevitable storm to pass [PRE-CHORUS] I kept telling myself we could fix what was broken I kept swallowing words that should have been spoken Every scar between us was a promise we broke And we called it love while we both slowly choked [CHORUS] (Let it fade) This is the funeral song for you and me Two drowning people lost out in the sea I break you down you tear me apart A collision of damage right to the heart It ain't that you're evil it ain't that I'm right We just turn into shadows whenever we fight I'm letting you go for the sake of us both (Tired of breaking) [VERSE 2] I look in the mirror and I hate what I see The monster that wakes up when you're next to me I gave you my wounds and I asked you to heal 'em But I just made you bleed every time you concealed 'em We're a beautiful tragedy a toxic design Pouring out poison and calling it wine I've caused just as much of this sorrow and pain And I can't keep dragging you out in the rain [PRE-CHORUS] I kept telling myself we could fix what was broken I kept swallowing words that should have been spoken Every scar between us was a promise we broke And we called it love while we both slowly choked [CHORUS] (Let it fade) This is the funeral song for you and me Two drowning people lost out in the sea I break you down you tear me apart A collision of damage right to the heart It ain't that you're evil it ain't that I'm right We just turn into shadows whenever we fight I'm letting you go for the sake of us both (Tired of breaking) *[VERSE 3 — spoken word, bare] I'm so tired of waking up feeling this cold We're aging in dog years we're getting too old For the screaming the crying the slamming of doors I can't fight this war on these desolate shores You're a beautiful soul with a crack in the frame And I'm just a storm cloud that forgot its own name When we put them together the thunder rolls in And neither one of us is ever gonna win [BRIDGE] I think the saddest part isn't that we failed It's that we tried so hard and still derailed I loved you in the only way I knew how to love Which wasn't nearly enough Wasn't nearly enough [BAGPIPE DUELING CELLO SOLO] (Ooh-whoa let it go) (We're breaking) (Yeah we're breaking) [VERSE 4] So I'm packing my shadows and I'm walking away There's nothing left for either of us to say I hope that you find someone who makes you whole Someone who doesn't take such a heavy toll I'll carry the guilt and I'll carry the scars And I'll wish you the best from underneath the stars This is the end of the line the final goodbye No more reasons to hurt no more reasons to cry [FINAL CHORUS] (Let it fade) This is the funeral song for you and me Two drowning people lost out in the sea I break you down you tear me apart A collision of damage right to the heart It ain't that you're evil it ain't that I'm right We just turn into shadows whenever we fight I'm letting you go for the sake of us both (Tired of breaking) [OUTRO] I'm so tired of breaking... ...so tired... (Goodbye) Your Last Song
