Lyric

The scars cut deeper when we choose to walk away

Than all the pain of carrying on another day

And isn't it strange how the heart works?

It takes more strength to hate than love

More calories burned trying to forget

Than what it takes to rise above

The weight of letting go

Is heavier than holding on

And turning love to hate

Takes more than staying strong

These bitter pills we swallow

Leave wounds that heal so slow

It's harder breaking free

Than learning how to grow

They say time heals all wounds, but that's not always true

Some nights I lie awake just thinking about you

The energy it takes to build these walls

To guard against the memories

Is more than what it cost to fall

Into love's sweet mysteries

Why does it take so much more

To close an open door?

Than to walk through it again

Why does my heart pretend

That hating's easier than loving?

When every cell in me is burning

Just to turn this love to nothing

Maybe the reason why it hurts so much to quit

Is 'cause the heart knows what the mind won't admit

That loving's natural as breathing

While hate's a learned design

And all this energy I'm spending

Is just wasted time

The weight of letting go

Is heavier than I know

More calories to hate

Than to just let love flow
