"Let The Love Die" lyrics

I gave up my peace just to keep you around
I gave you all I could of my precious time
Ingrate the ruler, self-righteous the crown
Weighing on my heart, playing with my mind

I can't keep living this way
I can't keep living this way

I thought it could be different, girl I thought we could change
But nature is a taxman and your debt is due
Done this all before and it always ends the same
You're walking out again, girl, and I'm letting you

I can't keep living this way
You can watch the smoke rise
I can't keep dragging these chains
So I let the love die
Let the love die

I gave you all my love, but you demand my soul
And that's a bridge too far it was a matter of time
A bridge far too long gone to be saved
You've got your side of the story, girl, and I've got mine

I can't keep living this way
You can watch the smoke rise
I can't keep dragging these chains
So I let the love die
Let the love die

I can't keep living this way, yeah, yeah
You can watch the smoke rise
I can keep dragging these chains, no
So I let the love die

I can't keep living this way
You can watch the smoke rise
I can't keep dragging these chains
So I let the love die
Let the love die
