And the ones around me convince me that I was the only person
who was dumb enough to believe that you and I had hope.
Db
But now I know even after you began to let your emotions slow the only reason I stood alone was
Ebm
Gb
because I was the only one who knew our love was never going to let go.
Verse 2
Bbm
Everyone wanted me to see that we could no thrive, so
gouge out my eyes.
Because if this is reality
then I guess I'm not alive
Db
Because I don't know a life in where I can't make
Verse 3
Db
Gb
things right.
And when life teaches you to drive
and you finally say goodbye
Db
And you won't let me stand
by your side
Gb
I'll know that though some feelings are hurt,
none will have died.
Db
Gb
Db
Cause I used to stay up at night and picture myself looking into your eyes shouting as you would sigh "how dare you think you can fall asleep with water dripping from the kitchen sink,
Gb
how dare you think you can fall asleep with all these little leaks in this home we built in our dreams"
Ab
Db
A picture is worth a thousand words or whatever people
Verse 4
Ab
say to me.
Gb
It's hard to believe when your mind
is lost and in need
And all you can picture is a memory inside
Db
of someone else's sheets.
Verse 5
A prayer that nothing will keep
Gb
A hope that light will seek before
the dark sinks too deep.
Db
Or at least the sinking feeling inside of me will decrease when
Gb
the release of perceived dreams burn in the flame of feeling free.
Db
So feel free to be free if that's
what you need.
Gb
Db
Verse 6
Gb
Db
And if someday you feel alone and everything
caves in when you try to breathe
Gb
Know that you are not alone
as far as I can see
Verse 7
Because you were everything to me.
Db
Ebm
Through this I have realized that if I were God
we would have all just died
Bbm
Because darling you were mine
and now I feel so dead inside
Gb
And what good am I if all I can create
Db
is a projection of my own mind.
Gb
A dream of finding time to remind you that
Db
I'm still here and I'm not fine.
And darling if you're going to leave
Ab
just remember who you are
Verse 8
And do what you can to remember me.
Db
Maybe someday we can talk about our past
Ebm
and we can talk about the weather.
Whenever you leave I don't care
Bbm
what I'm remembered for
Verse 9
Gb
I just want to be remembered.
Because even if I failed you at least I tried
Db
And maybe our lives don't add up now but someday
Gb
Db
our graves will look the same when we both die.
And if I had a chance I'd give you one last
Ab
kiss and I'd bite down on your lip
Db
And I'd try to puncture it so you'll
never forget that time
Ebm
But you'll always regret.
Bbm
And darling I know sometimes life
will take a turn for the worst
Gb
And sometimes life will even hurt.
And I know some days,
Db
Gb
some days you'll be afraid of the lessons you'll have to learn
