| Don’t say a word, or I’ll be gone |
| You broke me down for so long |
| I been going over the things I could have done |
| But you never loved me enough |
| Cause all I know is that letting you pull my strings is getting old, so old |
| I played your part, but it’s time you said |
| Maybe if you get your act together |
| Maybe if you love me just a little bit better |
| Well maybe there was nothing I could do at all |
| You said, maybe if we spent some time apart |
| Picking up the pieces of a broken heart |
| But maybe there was nothing I could do at all, all |
| I stumbled home through the night |
| And as you slipped into my mind, mmm |
| We tried for so long, but you set the stage for the fall |
| My heart needs to learn that you’re gone |
| Cause all I know is that letting you pull my strings is getting old, so old |
| I’m putting these ghosts to rest, so don’t say |
| Maybe if you get your act together |
| Maybe if you love me just a little bit better |
| Well maybe there was nothing I could do at all |
| You said, maybe if we spent some time apart |
| Picking up the pieces of a broken heart |
| But maybe there was nothing I could do at all, all |
| And all I know is that letting you pull my strings is getting old, so old |
| And I don’t wanna hear you say that |
| Maybe if you get your act together |
| Maybe if you love me just a little bit better |
| Well maybe there was nothing I could do at all |
| You said, maybe if we spent some time apart |
| Picking up the pieces of a broken heart |
| But maybe there was nothing I could do at all, all |
