Lyrics

The radio plays, but I won't let it sing
Every note tuggin' on a worn-out string
I haven't heard your voice in days or weeks
Now silence speaks louder than memory leaks

Do you still dream in the colors we painted
Do you still ache from the words we never said
I'm holding on by a guitar string
Threaded through all the songs that sting

You're the only one who could break me
The only one who ever saved me
Say I love you one last time
And I'll climb

Yeah, I swear I'll climb
Anger paints your face so well
Like fire trapped inside a fragile shell
I'm still reaching with hands worn thin

Still believing you'll let me back in
If you whispered once, I'd be brave
I'd crash through pain just to ride that wave
I'm holding on by a guitar string

Shredded chords, love in the ring
You're the only one who could break me
The only one who ever saved me
Say I love you one last time

And I'll climb
I swear I'll climb
So I tune the silence, strike the chords
You're gone, but I still write for your ghost

This melody's mine, but the ache is ours
I'm not free, but I'm still close
I'm holding on by a guitar string
Tangled in every memory that sings

You're the only one who could break me
The only one who ever saved me
Say I love you one last time
Or don't, either way I'll climb

Yeah, I'll climb
I'll climb
Even if it's just away from you
The radio plays

But now it sounds like goodbye
