"Let It Die"

Without pain, I wouldn't know
Without it, couldn't let you go
Without pain, oh
To be without pain

And these scars, they stay
Scars remind me every day
Without scars, ay
I wouldn't feel this way

I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart
I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart

To be whole, too much to ask
Whole, even with the past
To wear each moment without mask
To be whole

But you still cripple me
A flaw the builders didn't see
It forms and breaks in the air I breathe
Still haunting

I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart
I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to tear it apart

Oh, in the silence that follows
Oh, in the cold desperate nights
You don't have to give me false hope
You don't have to keep that fire alive
Let it die, let it die

I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to take it apart
I, I gave you my heart
You didn't have to take it but
You didn't have to break my heart
No, you didn't have to tear it apart
Let it die, let it die
