Love Took the Last of It Lyrics

I think I knew it from the start
Eventually everything would fall apart
You believed in the stars
Never thought the lights would guide you back to where you are

I lost my flame and so I told you what you want
Talked my way into a place where I felt safer I thought
I never meant to cause you any harm
I just wanted to speak it

So maybe I'd believe it
Build the blame and lay it at my feet
I'd break my fingers just to point them all at me
It's my fault
Spread the salt and I'll be gone but
The wounds are left to bleed

And I can fill the space but never find my peace
You take your aim and take the better parts of me
And It was never really right, Your hand in mine
But at the time it's what I needed for a stable mind

Kept my secrets and I covered them in lies
Had my reasons and I made sure they were staying inside
I was bleeding cause they cut me like a knife
Your heart was always beating

But I wasn't meant to keep it
Now we're both left with an emptiness
All alone with no good left to give
Love took the last of it
Sometimes I wonder if I'm meant for this
Will I ever have enough to give?
Love took the last of it
And now I'm cold and stiff
