You can only break so many hearts
It used to be love on another
Now it's lust for your lover
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone

You can only wait
You can only wait so long
You can only wait, you can only wait so long
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong
And you can only wait so long

Here's to the memories of yesterday
Here's to the poetry of those things I couldn't even say
You can only wait so long before the petals are all gone
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
Ain't nobody cryin' for what used to be home

You can only wait
You can only wait so long
You can only wait, you can only wait so long
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong
And you can only wait so long

Why couldn't you hold on to me
I was layin' right here in our bed
Walked in on the things I didn't see
And all those things I never should have known
You can only push someone so far
You can only break so many hearts
You can only wait so long before the flower petals are all gone
Bbay, I was trying to burn bridges of stone

You can only wait
You can only wait so long
You can only wait, you can only wait so long
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong
And you can only wait so long

Why couldn't you call out for me
It's not like I was ever far away
Tie me to the edge as I could leap
There's nothing left but a million words to say
We have memories and we shared most everything
Here's to the enemies who lay in misery
We'll find a way somehow
We're running just to know goodbye
Baby, I was trying to burn bridges of stone
Ain't nobody cryin' for what used to be home

You can only wait
You can only wait so long
You can only wait, you can only wait so long
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong
And you can only wait so long

In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong, you can only wait so long
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong, you can only wait so long
In this game we play, can't tell right from wrong, you can only wait so long
