Kassi Ashton - The Straw Lyrics

Could've been the way you stood there
Acting like I needed you to save the day
I don't need to be saved
Could've been you cornered my emotions
Up against the wall when I needed space
You know I needed space
I would've traded all the things you gave me
I didn't need
I thought I was a stayer
But God you made a runner out of me

My shoulders would hold ya
And the gravity of the blame
Heart broke, no joke
Do we really have to give it a name
My back aches, my bones break
I was the only one willing to change
Who cares what made it heavy anyway
The straw

Was it that I spelled it out in black and white
But you could never hear me
You can only hear yourself
I know you think I just gave up
But I didn't give up
I was so damn patient
I tried, I cried
But like a dam to a flood
I could only take so much

My shoulders would hold ya
And the gravity of the blame
Heart broke, no joke
Do we really have to give it a name
My back aches, my bones break
I was the only one willing to change
Who cares what made it heavy anyway

The straw
That broke the back of the girl
That loved ya
The straw that broke the back of the girl
That loved ya
The straw that broke the back of the girl
That loved ya
The last damn straw that broke the back
Of the girl that loved ya
Ah

My shoulders would hold ya
And the gravity of the blame
Heart broke, no joke
Do we really have to give it a name
My back aches, my bones break
I was the only one willing to change
Who cares what made it heavy anyway
The straw

The straw
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
The straw that broke the back of the girl
That loved ya
The last damn straw that broke the back
Of the girl that loved ya
Damn
