The Solution You Lost

Mmm,

yeah

I

tried,

I

really

tried,

baby

I

poured

my

heart

out

on

the

table

for

you

I

gave

you

everything

that

a

man

could

do

But

there’

s

a

shadow

hanging

over

your

soul

A

history

of

hurt

that

you

couldn't

control

I

watched

you

fight

demons

that

I

never

met

Caught

in

the

cycle

of

your

old

regret

I

tried

to

be

the

anchor,

tried

to

be

the

light

But

you

chose

the

darkness

in

the

middle

of

the

night

I

wasn't

the

problem,

I

was

the

solution

all

along

But

your

anger

turned

the

right

into

something

wrong

I

loved

you

through

the

fire,

through

the

thick

and

the

thin

But

you

let

your

past

walls

keep

me

from

getting

in

Yeah,

you

let

it

consume

me,

now

I’

m

walking

away

Leaving

you

with

nothing

but

the

words

you

couldn't

say

Do

you

remember

all

the

plans

that

we

made?

Before

the

colors

started

beginning

to

fade

We

had

a

future,

yeah,

a

promise

so

deep

But

you

chose

the

secrets

that

you

wanted

to

keep

Your

temper

flared

up

like

a

storm

in

the

sky

And

I

was

just

tired

of

asking

you

why

I’

m

sorry

for

my

errors,

yeah,

I

own

my

part

But

I

couldn't

heal

the

fractures

inside

of

your

heart

I

wasn't

the

problem,

I

was

the

solution

all

along

But

your

anger

turned

the

right

into

something

wrong

I

loved

you

through

the

fire,

through

the

thick

and

the

thin

But

you

let

your

past

walls

keep

me

from

getting

in

Yeah,

you

let

it

consume

me,

now

I’

m

walking

away

Leaving

you

with

nothing

but

the

words

you

couldn't

say

Oh,

if

I

could

take

back

the

days

that

I

failed

you

I

would

do

it

all,

I’

d

rewrite

the

truth

But

you

couldn't

let

go

of

the

ghosts

in

the

hall

And

you

let

our

love

stumble,

you

let

it

all

fall

I

need

you

to

know

that

I

truly

did

care

But

I

can’

t

breathe

if

you’

re

never

really

there

So

this

is

the

ending,

the

final

goodbye

I’

m

drying

the

last

tear

that

fell

from

my

eye

When

you’

re

sitting

alone

in

the

quiet

and

cold

You’

ll

see

the

story

that

you

chose

to

unfold

I

was

the

one,

yeah,

I

was

the

key

But

you

couldn't

see

what

was

standing

with

me

I

wasn't

the

problem,

I

was

the

solution

all

along

But

your

anger

turned

the

right

into

something

wrong

I

loved

you

through

the

fire,

through

the

thick

and

the

thin

But

you

let

your

past

walls

keep

me

from

getting

in

Yeah,

you

let

it

consume

me,

now

I’

m

walking

away

Leaving

you

with

nothing

but

the

words

you

couldn't

say

I

was

the

solution,

baby

Yeah,

you

let

it

consume

us

I

loved

you,

you

know

I

did

Goodbye,

goodbye

Mmm,

yeah,

goodbye
