Sometimes you just have to live with it
You know what you did
That pile of broken hearts can’t be lit
They'll always know how to find the things you hid

You said I needed to learn how to forgive someday
That I had no right to judge
I know that’s right and right well I judged anyway
It's always easier for me to hold a grudge

We’re all the same
We know life is rough
We don’t say the things we should
But it’s not who won the fight
It’s who decides they’ve had enough

The way you lived was like plowing down a house
You never seemed to know who lived inside
It was just a another person to take off your blouse
They never had a chance because every night you cried

You acted like you never planted any memories
You never watered any knowing you were soon gone
You took the earrings but left me all the stories
What else can I do now but try to write a song

Talkin’ about you like this is just about the bad
But I know I’m telling a lie
You were the prettiest girl I ever had
Now I answer to myself because I asked myself why

We’re all the same
We know life is rough
We don’t say the things we should
But it’s not who won the fight
It’s who decides their heart is tough
