I can barely hold your hand Let alone hold you up I can barely feed myself Let alone fill your cup
'Cause the bonds stay broken When the lessons stay unlearned I have given all I can When's it your turn?
I can barely hold my tongue Let alone hold my breath I ain't gonna stick around To watch you die a new death
'Cause I swore to myself I would Never return I've seen this one before And guess what You crash and you burn
Burned All your bridges When your super-life Became superstition Less than a friend But more than a sister What once just burned Is starting to blister
Ashes to ashes We'll burn to the ground And I'd rather make a clean break Than watch you fall down
And I hope you'll forgive me 'Cause I didn't forget The way you severed the cords Of your own safety net
Well, fate can be cruel Life may be a bitch But that's not an excuse For your seven-year itch
You see, I never signed on To mend what you break And I won't be a band-aid For another heartache
I have learned from the best When to say enough is enough So you've been dealt a bad hand You've still got to ante up
When the cards have been folded And the last bluff's been called What will you be left with? Nothing or all
There's so much to gain When there's nothing to lose But little girl You've got some big girl shoes Little girl in big girl shoes Little girl, big girl shoes
