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
Mm, 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
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
Mm, 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
