Coals Lyrics

She messed up
You're angry
You think you'll never let it go
You're holding coals, oh

You lost it
So confused
Sixteen and feeling so used
You ask me to

Take away all this pain inside
But baby I try, but

Bad news doesn't hit me like it used to
I see a tear in your eye
I can't stand to see you crying
I cannot stand

You're holding coals
But you're only burning your own hands
Long way, long way to go before it's over
You're holding coals
But you're only burning, only burning your own hands
Oh, your own hands
Yeah

Your best friend
You're girlfriend
And you were out of town
The last to know what it's all about

You lost it
So confused
Nineteen still feeling so used
You ask me to

Take away all this pain inside
Well baby, I'm trying, but

Bad news doesn't hit me like it used to
I see a tear in your eye
And I just can't stand to see you crying
I cannot stand
No

'Cause you're losing yourself
With the loss of someone else
You're holding coals
You're losing yourself
With the loss, with the loss
Oh

It's time now for quiet
Let's put this all behind us
The last ten years
A silent reparation for you too

You're holding coals
But you're only burning your own hands
Long way, long way to go before it's over

You're holding coals
But you're only burning
Only burning your own hands
Oh, your own hands
Yeah

Just let it go now
Just let it go now
Let it go now
Let it go now
