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, your 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
I just can't stand to see you crying
I cannot stand... (noo)
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)
(You're holding coals)
Just let it go now x8
