[Intro]
Let me tell you the saddest story
Love lost, left broken and empty
Put my heart in the hands of another
Set a fire to the past and watched me burn
[Verse 1]
Somehow I guess it's better this way
Looking back, was it all just a mistake?
Thought I could live in the arms of another
But I guess I wasn't enough for her
[Chorus 1]
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
[Verse 2]
I've been putting myself through your Hell
Holding on to things that don't even matter now
You found your place in the arms of another
But now I see it's just the way the Earth will turn
[Chorus 2]
I wanna feel the love you can't live without
The one that Johnny Cash wrote all his songs about
But I gave it all away for no return
Guess it's just another lesson that I'll never learn
Can't seem to fill the void that lives in my chest
Thought I was what you need, but I'm just second best
I'll never give it all away again I swear
Don't even look for a heart, you'll find there's nothing there
[Bridge]
(I can't take it back)
All the years that we spent together have come to an end
(Regret is all I had)
Not sure I would if I could do it all over again
(I can't take it back)
The memories, the pictures, I love you's will wither
(Regret is all I had)
But this is the last song I'll write about you
Forget my name
Forget my face
It was all just empty space
Deadweight; no longer part of me

In an interview with HeavyMag, vocalist Cory Quinstad talked about the meaning behind “Johnny Cash”
‘Johny Cash’ is a very different song for our band. As it was being written, I knew it was going to be a standout, and I wanted the title to be a standout too, and I think when we were going through...
