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
