The Straw

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 bonеs break I was the only one willing to changе Who cares what made it heavy anyway The straw [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 Ahhh ah ah [Chorus] 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 [Outro] The straw Oooh ooh-ooh oooh 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
